cricketUpdated: Jun 05, 2020 18:33 ISTFormer Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza has admitted he was hurt the way the Bangladesh team management wanted to shove him out of the team and into retirement. Last month, Bangladesh bowling coach Ottis Gibson urged Mortaza to retire as he doesn’t see him in coach Russell Domingo’s plan for the 2023 World Cup. Such treatment, along with a couple of similar incidents, have left Mortaza upset after all the years he’s given to Bangladesh cricket. “Honestly speaking it seemed that there was a rush to bid me farewell and it was certainly hurting,” Mortaza told Cricbuzz. What was worse is that they spread rumours like the Bangladesh team played nine and a half players in the World Cup.
