A medium pace opening bowler, Mashrafe Mortaza, also known as Koushik, last played one-day international cricket for Bangladesh in November 2001 against Zimbabwe.
And while his bowling record is reasonable – four wickets in just three games – he could well miss out unless injury strikes one of the other bowlers.
A number 11 batsman, the 19-year old has a good Test match record of 12 wickets in just four games, and he will benefit greatly from being a part of the 2003 World Cup.
