Former Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza has tested positive for COVID-19, Bangladesh media reported on Saturday (June 20).
He reportedly has been unwell for the last couple of days and got tested on Friday. He is currently in isolation at home.
“Bhaia (brother) has been suffering from fever for two days. Covid-19 test was conducted on Friday and we got the result today. He has been found positive for the virus. Bhaia is now staying in isolation at home in Dhaka. Please pray for him,” Mortaza’s younger brother Morsalin Bin Mortaza told United News of Bangladesh.
Mortaza, who is also a member of parliament, resigned from captaincy in March this year. He has played 36 Tests and 220 ODIs apart from 54 T20Is, and is widely credited for Bangladesh’s turnaround into a threatening ODI team.
