"I'm recognised as a cricketer here. I am taking the field as a cricketer and not as a member of parliament. I hope that you guys will treat me the same way," he said in Dhaka on Friday.
This would be his first competitive match after being elected as a public representative from the Narail-2 constituency in Sunday’s parliamentary elections.
Mashrafe will captain Rangpur Riders, the defending champions of BPL T20 tournament.
