Matches – 205, Wkts – 259, Runs scored – 1752

Bangladesh Captain Mashrafe Mortaza is another player, who is in the last leg of his career. Though he made his ODI debut in 2001, he had a stop-start career because of fitness issues. However, he has shown a lot of guts to come back after every injury.

Mortaza has had to cut down his pace after every mishap. In the later stages of his career, he has mainly become a new ball bowler who could bowl an extended spell of 7 or 8 overs at the start.

Indian fans will remember him for his fiery spell of 4 for 38 in the World Cup match in 2007 at Port-of-Spain, which knocked India out of that World Cup. Though plagued by injuries, Mortaza took 26 wickets in 2018.

As the captain of Bangladesh, Mortaza showed tremendous fighting spirits to compete against top teams in the world. In the Asia Cup in 2018, Bangladesh reached the finals ahead of the other Asian giants like Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

The 35-year old is forcing his body to co-operate until the World Cup. This World Cup could very well be his final international appearance.
