Former Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza has come out to support the ones severely affected by the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Mortaza has been at the forefront of many such social initiatives in the past and this time too he has come forward to help the people at a time when the world is fighting the dreaded virus.
The 36-year-old has decided to support as many as 300 families in Narail, his birthplace, belonging to the lower-income group.
Mortaza, however, will not be available as he is in isolation as mandated by the governments across the world to battle the spread of COVID-19.
