Bangladesh's limited-overs skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza has deactivated his Facebook account in the aftermath of his teammate Nasir Hossain's fallout with the community.

Nasir was attacked on Facebook by vulgar and reprehensible comments after he posted a picture with his sister, and this irked Mashrafe to the point of protesting by closing his account.

"I closed my fan page only for Nasir," said Mashrafe.

"I wanted to stand by Nasir and protest against the incident, so this is my way of protesting.

“If this is the kind of response we get from our followers, then I don't need an account," continued Mashrafe. "I don't want this kind of experience."
