National cricket hero Mashrafe Mortaza will contest in the upcoming general elections, said the Planning Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal.
“Mashrafe will contest the election from Narail,” the minister said while briefing reporters after holding weekly ECNEC meeting in the capital on Tuesday.
However, he did not mention which party Mashrafe would be contesting from.
