Sylhet, Feb 29: Bangladesh take on Zimbabwe in a three-match ODI series starting on Sunday and all eyes will be on veteran fast bowler and captain Mashrafe Mortaza. Mashrafe has not played since the team's final match at the 2019 World Cup and Bangladesh Cricket Board chief Nazmul Hassan had indicated that this could be the last time that the 36-year-old leads the team.

In a pre-match press conference, Mashrafe was irked when asked if his form at the World Cup made him feel ashamed. "Why will I be ashamed? Am I a thief?" said Mashrafe. "Do I steal on the ground? Am I a thief? I actually can not relate things like 'self-respect' or 'being ashamed' with playing cricket.
