#9 Mashrafe Mortaza

Mashrafe Mortaza has been one of the lynchpins in the growth of Bangladesh cricket. He shot to fame when his man of the match performance of 4/38 knocked India out of the 2007 Cricket World Cup.
Along with his colleagues in Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mushfiqur Rahim, he has helped establish Bangladesh as one of the forces in world cricket.
More than being a bowler, Mashrafe has been an inspirational captain, leading them to series wins over South Africa and India.
He is also the only Bangladeshi captain to have a win percentage of over 50. Having refrained himself from playing Tests and T20s, the pacer has been concentrating on the ODI format. The 35-year old became the most capped Bangladeshi player recently.
Bangladesh's leading wicket-taker in ODIs will use all his energy in the upcoming World Cup where his team might finish in the top four.
