Mortaza hopes to take NCL route ahead of Zim series
Mashrafe Mortaza has been suffering the after-effects of a week-long spell of dengue fever for which he was hospitalised earlier this month. He hopes to play in the National Cricket League from the end of October, and feels he will be ready by the first ODI against Zimbabwe on November 7.
"I hope I can play in the NCL's round that begins on October 31. The preparation for the Zimbabwe series would have been pretty good," he said. "But I am not sure if I can manage to play on the 31st too. I still feel weak. But there is time. The first ODI is on November 7. I am hoping to recover by then."
