Mashrafe joins Khulna
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza will be back in action with the ongoing Bangabandhu T20 Cup as the veteran pacer was picked up by Gemcon Khulna following a lottery at the BCB office yesterday.
The former Bangladesh captain, who has recently recovered from a hamstring injury, has been subject of interest by three to four teams in the tournament, forcing the organisers to call for a lottery.

The 37-year-old has been out of action since March this year following the ODI series against Zimbabwe; a series where he stepped down as the captain of Bangladesh ODI team.
The pacer underwent fitness and Covid-19 tests and passed both before being picked in the lottery.
