“Mashrafe bhai's (brother) first series as Bangladesh captain, he handed me an envelope in the airport lounge. "Read it later," he said. I got on the plane and opened the envelope. The letter I read that day is something that I still remember. He had written some very inspiring words about me, and it seemed like he had taken a lot of time to write it, with lots of personal touches. He is an extraordinary human being who has taken our team to new heights. He is like an older brother, a friend. I pray that he leads Bangladesh into more success, and may he play for many years.”
