Bangladesh ODI captain Mashrafe Mortaza registered a landslide victory in the 11th general elections, winning over 96% of the votes in his constituency. Mortaza is also the first active cricketer to bag this position in his country. Mashrafe had officially entered politics in November when he received confirmation of his nomination from Awami League.
Contesting in the 11th general elections, Mortaza secured the Narail-2 constituency with 274, 418 votes. His rival Fariduzzaman Farhad (Jatiya Oikya Front ) received 8,006 votes. Mortaza has already retired from T20 International cricket and has not played a Test match since 2009. He is expected to retire from ODIs after the 2019 World Cup
