Mashrafee backs for NCLt20

Whole Sylhet is Smiling. Because Norail Express is back from IPL to play for Sylhet Sultans. The participation of Mashrafee in the first ever franchise-based Twenty20 competition hosted by the Bangladesh Cricket Board as he was with Indian Premier League outfit KKR.
Pace bowler Mashrafee bin Murtaza returned home on Friday and joined the National Cricket League Twenty20 franchise Sultans of Sylhet after he was released by Kolkata Knight Riders.
The BCB did not pick him as icon of any side despite being a former national captain and had instead placed him on the list of pool players, who were up for grabs in a lottery by the franchises.
Sultans played a gamble and picked him despite all the uncertainty. They were the gainers eventually as Mashrafee opted to play in the competition instead of sitting idle in Kolkata.
The Sylhet franchise presented him at a press conference on Friday, ending all speculation about his participation. He was awarded the captaincy of the side in place of Alok Kapali, their official mega icon in the competition.
I am feeling much better now and looking forward to returning to the field,Mashrafee told the press conference.
Mashrafee has played just one international match in the past eight months since his injury in the West Indies last July. Apart from the one-day international against England in February, his participation in competitive cricket was limited to a four-day match for Khulna in the National Cricket Leagues first-class version.
Bangladesh coach Jamie Siddons and skipper Sakib al Hasan were not satisfied with his fitness in the comeback match and dropped him for the next game against England. A visibly angry Mashrafee left the team hotel immediately and joined KKR after the series.
He was not selected for any of the 10 matches that KKR played so far in the IPL, which put his match fitness in doubt ahead of the ICC World Twenty20, slated to begin later this month.
I have been selected for the ICC World Twenty20, so I badly needed to play some matches at this stage. I am very happy that Sylhet provided me that opportunity, he said.
The NCL Twenty20 will be a good preparation for all of us and I am looking forward to it, added the former captain.
Mashrafee was grateful to KKR for releasing him without any fuss.
They released me amicably and also promised to pay me for the full season. They also realised that I need to play some games and I am really grateful to them for their decision, said Mashrafee.

Suman and Symonds ensured the victory for Deccan Chargers





Indian young star Suman and Australian all rounder Andrew Symonds ensured the much awaited victory for Deccan Chargers. Chasing a big total of 185 runs Deccan was on the right way from beginning. But they were always challenged by the required run rate. But Suman scored unbeaten 78 from just 57 balls and dangerous Andrew Symonds scored unbeaten 53 from 24 balls. Deccan win by 7 wickets with 4 ball to spare.
Earlier Royal Challengers managed to put up a good total of 184/6 runs from their allocated 20 over. Opener Jack Kallis scored highest 68 run from 44 balls and Virat Kohli played a finishing stuff of 58 from just 35 balls.
Anil Kumble said, Initially the ball was stopping on, once the batsmen got set, they played well to get to 184. Our bowlers did not step up today, the total was defendable. We still have four games to go, hope the results go our way. Kohli played really well, he kept on hitting once he got his eye in but, credit to the Chargers, and they played really well.
Gilchrist said, It was a 90% improved performance, feels good to win, we still need to improve 10% but this is pleasing. We do not want to differentiate between international or an Indian player, we had to play well as a team. The players picked themselves up and it's a good feeling. We have to play another game in two days and that's a must win game as well. Suman and Symmo do not have to do anything big, they are natural hitters. We let ourselves down in a couple of areas, this may put us in the right path. We have two games at Nagpur, the facilities out there is great.
Man of the match Suman said, My plan was to bat till the end. With guys like Symonds and Gilchrist, we knew that we could win this. The pitch really helped my batting. These legends ( Gilly and Symmo) give a lot of tips on and off the field that has helped me improve my batting. We will have a big party in the night.
By this win Deccan got 8 points from 10 match and they are still standing behind from top four.
