Mashrafe Mortaza’s house torching incident details

The incident took place after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and left Bangladesh on Monday, leaving the n??ation in a state of chaos and uncertainty.

Mortaza, a member of parliament from the Narail-2 constituency in Khulna division, had won his seat for the second consecutive time as an Awami League candidate during the general elections held earlier this year. However, his political affiliation with the ruling party made him a target for protesters who expressed anger over his silence regarding the alleged “massacres and mass arrests of students” in Bangladesh.

Mortaza’s cricketing career

Mortaza, widely regarded as one of Bangladesh’s greatest cricketers, had a remarkable career spanning 36 Tests, 220 ODIs, and 54 T20Is. He led the national team in 117 matches across all formats, the most for any Bangladeshi player.

During his illustrious career, Mortaza took 390 international wickets and scored 2,955 runs. He was known for his pace, accuracy, and ability to swing the ball both ways. Mortaza’s leadership skills were also highly praised, as he guided Bangladesh to several memorable victories and helped the team establish itself as a competitive force in world cricket.

After retiring from the game, Mortaza entered politics in 2018 by joinin?g the Awami League. His decision to enter public service was seen as a natural progression for a man who had dedicated his life to serving his country both on and of??f the field.

Political turmoil in Bangladesh

The attack on Mortaza’s house is a direct consequence of the ongoing political crisis in Bangladesh. The resignation of the Prime Minister and her subsequent departure from the country have left the nation in a state of flux.

Hasina, who had ruled Bangladesh for 20 of the last 30 years, stepped down amid massive student protests over a government jo?bs quota scheme. Her resignation marked the end of a 15-year second stint in power for the A??wami League leader.

As the political situation co??ntinues to unfold, the future of Bangladesh remains uncertain. The military has stepped in to help form an interim government, but it remains to be seen whether this will bring stability to the country or lead to further unrest.

In the meantime, the attack on Mashrafe Mortaza’s house serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of political upheaval. As a respected public figure and a symbol of Bangladesh’s sporting prowess, Mortaza’s ordeal has touched the hearts of many, both within the country and around the world.

As the nation grapples w??ith the aftermath of this tragic incident, it is clear that the road ahead will be a challenging one.

In a stunning turn of events, Tamim Iqbal has reversed his decision to retire from international cricket after a meeting with Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The U-turn comes just a day after Tam?im announced his immediate retirement, leaving fans and cricket pundits puzzled about his sudden departure from the spor?t.

“I can say no to everyone but it was impossible for me to say no to someone of the PM’s authority. Papon (Nazmul Hasan) bhai, Mashrafe (Mortaza) bhai were big, big factors too. Mashrafe bhai called me here and Papon bhai was also with here. Prime Minister also gave me one and a half months break for my treatment and other things. After becoming mentally free, I will play the rest of the matches,” Tamim added.
