rdf:langString Mashrafe Bin Mortaza (Bengali: মাশরাফি বিন মর্তুজা ; born 5 October 1983), Popularly known as the 'Narail Express', is a Bangladeshi international cricketer and politician who is the former captain in all three formats of the game for the Bangladesh national cricket team and currently serves as a Member of Parliament of Narail-2 district. Widely considered as the greatest captain for Bangladesh in ODI and T20 formats of all time. He started this test debut against Zimbabwe in 2001. He impressed Andy Roberts, who was then coaching Bangladesh and was drafted into the Test side - in his debut first-class game . He was the 31st person to have achieved this and the third since 1899. In 2006, Mortaza was the world's highest wicket-taker in ODIs, collecting 49 wickets. He was the Man-of-the-match in the match against India in the 2007 Cricket World Cup. He took four wickets that game and knocked out India from the group stage. Mortaza was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders for $600,000 in IPL 2009. Mortaza was appointed captain after the 2009 T20 World Cup. He was to debut as captain when Bangladesh toured West Indies and Zimbabwe, but an ankle injury forced him to hand over the captaincy duties to Shakib. He suffered a tear in his knee ligament, which forced him to miss the 2011 Cricket World Cup. After overcoming his injuries, Mashrafee captained Bangladesh to the quarter-finals of the 2015 Cricket World Cup, where they lost to India. After the 2015 World Cup, Mashrafe led his team to ODI series wins against Pakistan (3-0) and India (2-1) at home. These results sealed a place for Bangladesh in the 8-nation tournament for the first time, the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy in England. In 2016, Mashrafe led Comilla Victorians to win their first BPL title in 4 years. His captaincy led Bangladesh Team to become the runners-up of the Asia Cup two consecutive times but lost to India in both. According to Andy Roberts, Masrafe is the most talented cricketer in Bangladesh. He became only the fifth bowler in history to take 100 ODI wickets as a captain. Mortaza's career has been hampered by fifteen injuries as he has undergone a total of ten operations on his knees and ankles. Mashrafe is also the first pace bowler in Bangladesh who bowled a delivery clocking over 148 km/h, which he did during a Test against New Zealand at Hamilton in 2001. On 6 March 2020, Mashrafe, at the age of 37, announced his retirement from international cricket by playing the last match against Zimbabwe.
