And to their defence, he played only couple of games before the BPL start.
Mashrafee is an ICON player of Bangladesh... even if he is not for Dhaka Gladiators!! He is even more respected than Shakib and definitely more than Ashraful..

I didn't mind Mash not being an icon player. He was injured so I was fine with that but Mahmudullah is from Mymensingh so he would fall under the Dhaka division. So in that way he should have been there.
