This is the end of the era... Mashud takes with him what made Bangladesh cricket. His defining over boundary in 1997, his keeping against Pakistan in the worldcup, his heroics during the toughest time of Bangladesh Cricket,,when his team would fall left and right and becoming the wall.. aI is a sad way ending his career. he should've just screw his own Rajshahi academy and BCB and joined the ICL. Atleast, they would honor him better than what the morons of BCB has showed. He didnt because he wanted to serve his country..I am equally saddened by the fact that his peer Akram Khan was also ineffective in being bold in selection to select him for the last time on his own merit.
If you think of one wicketkeeper in Bangladesh,, it will be no other than Khaled Mashud Pilot. There is NONE near his knowledge, skills and passion for wicketkeeping. He was a wicketkeeper since his schoold days and he will be known for the Master wicketkeeper Bangladesh ever producted. Heck,, even greats like Wasim Akram testified that fact. Shame that Chameli, GaLi that they could never never could get past their egoes... Shame on Bangladesh that it failed again to honor another hero.
