News Desk: Today is September 6; His birthday. Before 1995, left-arm fast bowler Mostafizur Rahman of the Bangladesh national cricket team was born in Satkhira today. If you turn the page of the calendar and calculate, today (Sunday) the age of Cutter Master Mostafiz turned 25 years old. The morning has been greeted by relatives, friends, fans and well-wishers. Almost all of the associate cricketers have been soaked in greetings and love. Speaking at noon, Mostafiz said, ‘I have received many happy birthday wishes this morning. Many have soaked in love. We have a WhatsApp group of cricketers. Many of the cricketers there wished him a happy birthday. I am soaked in the wishes and love of everyone big and small. ' Thought he would spend the morning and afternoon of his birthday at the Home of Cricket like any other day.

But it did not happen. On the first morning of his birthday, Katal was alone at his home near Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur. The practice is closed as three of the supporting staff are affected by corona. So there is no opportunity to go to the field. You have to celebrate your birthday at home. Of course, there is not much regret about it. It feels worse than not being able to go to the field and practice fitness training and bowling. Mostafiz said, ‘I have practiced for 12-13 days all together. The last three days have not been done. I decided to go again, but the practice suddenly stopped. Feeling a little bad. It would be good if I could continue the practice. It would have been helpful to get the rhythm back. ' He added, "I started practicing on the 18th of last month (August). I haven't practiced in the last three days. So two weeks have not passed yet.

Stopping the practice now means the continuity is over. It would be good if I could continue the practice. Still not as bad as it has been. I've suffered. I was trying to get back in rhythm. ' Mostafiz feels, ‘No matter how hard and intensive you practice, the real thing is match play. No matter how hard a bowler works in the net and personally, no matter how much the bowling coach guides him and gives him effective advice; If you want to improve the bowling and get the rhythm full match game. You have to improve yourself by playing. I am also looking forward to playing the match. ' Meanwhile, he had the opportunity to play a match. The offer came from the IPL, a franchise-based event. But it was not possible to accept it for the tour of Sri Lanka. What is the whole matter? Cutter master Mostafiz told the fans, ‘I was offered two IPL teams (name not disclosed, but close sources said Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians).

But I could not accept the offer. Tell me what to do? I will be in Sri Lanka then. The IPL can no longer be played while the national team is touring. Mostafiz has clarified one thing. Mostafiz did not know the general fans. In fact, he is not, after receiving offers from IPL teams, Cutter Master asked the two teams to contact the BCB. The board has informed them that the national team will tour Sri Lanka during the IPL. Mostafiz will also be with the team at that time. So it is not possible for him to play IPL. In the same tone, Mostafiz said, "IPL is no bigger than playing for the country. So I have no regrets, no regrets. '
