poor fellow's having a torrid time.

[Naimul_Hd]

Mashrafe is not going to NZ confirmed by Desh TV news !

[MohammedC]

I hope he recovers soon. Thank god its only a fever. I would rather see a fully fit Mash against England in 2 Test matches than nearly fit Mash against NZ in Circus cricket and ODI.

[Purbasha T]

Haire. Dukkho ar sare na.

[Naimul_Hd]

is it anyway related to KKR's inspection on Mash injury status ?? Mash is on the verge of losing his contract with KKR (what i read in Newspaper)! KKR may have been told him tht if he gets injury again in short time then he is gonna lose his contract ! so mash may be wanted to be in safe side and decided not to go in NZ. i am just having a weird thought. do not jump on me yet !

[Neel Here]

I don't thing he will avoid national duty for KKR. he is the captain FFS !

[zainab]

Feel so sorry for Mash. i thought going to NZ was too quick for him. He should recover soon and be fit for the English series. I think that KKR is going to buy out his contract soon. they have Bond.

[simon]

Man,is so sad.
Hopefully he gets fit for the Eng series.

[ialbd]

dhurrr.....
need to stay away from BC for a bit....

He shouldn't. Let him play in the NCL. We need him to beat England at home, not bend his back in New Zealand and sprain a muscle or break a bone. It's too early for him to be back.

yep....and our current pace dept (Shahadat, Rubel and Shafiul) is doing quite well...so Mash doesnt require to rush back in the team at the moment !

[Tokai]

Given the state of our pace attack from the last 2 tests, there is no reason we should hurry mash into risking him more injury. He should take all the time he needs, and we can grow the other 3 meanwhile so we are not completely dependent on him.

[Roni_uk]

WE should just forgot about Mash. Hope he recovers soon.

[simon]

But NTV news saying Mash will be ok & will fly within next 3 days.

[DJ Sahastra]

Too many injuries and injury-related opt-outs. Sooner or later, Mashrafe may have to retire from Tests and focus solely on ODIs.

[Rabz]

Ok, i'm sure someone had done a voodoo on him.
There is a limit of bad luck.
Bad luck shob shomoy kharap hoy eita jantam..kintu eto kharap...haire kopal!!

[wiseshah]

I think we should let him rest

send Rasel instead for ODI and 20/20

[Ajfar]

its good that this came up before the left BD. had this happened after he got to NZ it would have been bad for our team. Mashrafee get well soon. plenty of cricket coming up in the next few months, you got time.

[_Rafi_]

Talha would be good replacement of Mash. Robin and Rasel are also good replacement.

মাশরাফির জ্বর, নিউজিল্যান্ড যেতে পারেননি

ঢাকা, জানুয়ারি ২৯ (বিডিনিউজ টোয়েন্টিফোর ডককম) - জ্বর হওয়ায় শুক্রবার নিউজিল্যান্ডের উদ্দেশে রওনা দিতে পারেননি পেসার মাশরাফি বিন মুর্তজা। তবে বাকি তিন ক্রিকেটার আফতাব আহমেদ, সাহাদাত হোসেন ও মাহমুদউল¬াহ রিয়াদ নিউজিল্যান্ডের পথে দেশ ছেড়েছেন।

বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট বোর্ড শুক্রবার এক সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে জানায়, মাশরাফি সেরে উঠলেই টোয়েন্টি-টোয়েন্টি এবং তিন ম্যাচের একদিনের সিরিজ খেলতে নিউজিল্যান্ড যাবেন।

বিসিবি মিডিয়া ম্যানেজার রাবিদ ইমাম জানান, শনিবার সকালেই তাকে অ্যাপোলো হাসপাতালে চিকিৎসকের কাছে নেয়া হবে।

আগামী ৩ ফেব্রে"য়ারি থেকে স্বাগতিক নিউজিল্যান্ডের বিপক্ষে টোয়েন্টি-টোয়েন্টি ম্যাচ দিয়ে আনুষ্ঠানিকভাবে বাংলাদেশের সফর শুরু হবে।

[Murad]

Good for him and the team. We need a fit Mash. He shouldn't be in the squad anyway. No match practice for 6/7 months.

[wiseshah]

Off note: is Rasel now allrounder
he has almost 2 half century in 1 match and 3 wkt with economy

[al-Sagar]

i dont think we are gonna get mashrafe back again.

we lost hasibul hossain shanto when he was at his prime form.

now we are losing the another of our best bowlers. i think this recurring injury will never let him play again

[wiseshah]

but mash return several times

i dont think he should be included in NZ tour, by the time he will reach there, it will be already too late. why dont we give him rest and make him available against england in next month.

send Syed rasel or shuvo immediately
