Miraz donates award to family of martyred rickshaw puller

Mehidy Hasan Miraz, the instrumental figure in Bangladesh’s 2-0 sweep over Pakistan, has dedicated his ‘Man of the Series’ award to the people who passed away during the anti-discrimination protest.

While dedicating the award to the martyrs of the anti-discrimination protest that led the ouster of autocratic ruler Sheikh Hasina, Miraz showed a great generosity of gifting the award, worth 500,000 Pakistan Rupees to a rickshaw puller who was injured during the movement. 

The rickshaw puller later succumbed to his injuries and his death has had a profound impact on the cricketers.

Miraz scored 155 runs and took 10 wickets to play a vital role in Bangladesh’s first ever series victory over Pakistan and the performance earned him his maiden ‘Player of the Series’ award on overseas soil in the onger version format.
