Mortaza had decided to step down from captaincy during Bangladesh's last home series against Bangladesh earlier this year.
Mortaza said he was not even offered a farewell match
A media report claims that either his family or some of his representatives will be helping out the families in the following days.
Meanwhile, batsman Mahmudullah and pacer Mustafizur Rahman have been axed from the Test contract list and handed only a partial contract for white-ball cricket.
It was Mashrafe's last game as Bangladesh's ODI captain after he announced his decision to step down from the position on Thursday and his teammates rose to the occasion to dominate Zimbabwe.
Mortaza is leading his side for the 88th time on Friday against Zimbabwe and would try his best to steer his side to win and take his record to 50 wins as captain.
Under Mortaza, Bangladesh played 87 ODI matches in which they ended up on the winning side on 49 occasions while losing just 36- an unmatched record in Bangladesh Cricket.
Meanwhile, Mashrafe Mortaza has welcomed the BCB's decision to increase Test match fees and split the players' contract into Test and limited-overs.
Mashrafe Mortaza feels the increased match fees will change the scenario of Test cricket in Bangladesh, currently placed at the bottom of Test Championship.
