Our man Mashrafe!
Is he lucky? No, never! Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, the Bangladeshi player with whom 150 million people may take pride, has been sold at $600,000 and he brought priceless pride for Bangladesh. This is it. The luxurious and expensive cricket auction of Indian Premier League 2009 ends and Mushrafe stuns millions of cricket fans round the world. Is $600.000 unbelievable price for Mashrafe? I disagree, why we should forget that we have some world-class cricketers. The world knows them but is reluctant to acknowledge. Bangladesh, a country of countless miseries, has gifted many hidden talents like Mashrafe. His price shows the dawn of Bangladeshi cricket. Now we of course will be getting due evaluation from cricket experts. We sincerely thank Saurav Ganguly for magnifying the jewel. And Mashrafe goes to say, "Kolkata is next door and I know how people there admire Bangladeshi cricketers. The auction is now over and the challenge for me is now to go out and prove my worth."
