With just two days left until the start of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), teams are busy with final preparations. While most local players and foreign stars slated to play from the first match have already joined their squads and started training, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza’s absence from Sylhet Strikers’ practice sessions has raised eyebrows.
The former Bangladesh captain’s fitness appears to be a concern, with reports suggesting he is not in playing condition for the tournament.
However, Sylhet Strikers are not ruling him out just yet. Head coach Mahmud Emon has stated that the team will consider Mashrafe if he feels fit enough to play.
Sylhet’s first match in the 11th edition of the BPL is scheduled for December 31. When questioned about Mashrafe’s absence after the team’s practice session in Mirpur, coach Emon said, “He’s still part of the squad. Mashrafe is a vital part of this team.
It depends on how he feels and his fitness status. If he is ready to play and the situation allows, he will definitely play.”
