There are not many famous umpires of Bangladesh in international cricket. Masudur Rahman Mukul is one of those who are doing well in recent times. Now he is going to do umpiring in a foreign league as the first Bangladeshi umpire.

Mukul is going to Canada's Global T20 League after completing his duties in the recently concluded Bangladesh home series against Afghanistan. Mukul will be the umpire throughout the tournament. Currently, there are no matches in the country. The national team also has no game. At this time he will officiate in the Global T20 League.

He talked with BDCricTime while staying at the airport on Monday (July 17) afternoon. “I will cover the entire league. I am at the airport now,” he said. Mukul left Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport for Canada at 7:30 pm BST on July 17.

Bangladesh's two superstars Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das will participate as players in the Global T20 League. Test and T20 captain Shakib will play for the Montreal Tigers, who bought Shakib from the marquee player category early in the players' draft. Then ODI and Test vice-captain Litton was bought by Surrey Jaguars.

Shakib, however, is scheduled to fly to Sri Lanka's Lankan Premier League (LPL) after playing half of the Global T20 League, where he will play for Galle Gladiators. However, Litton will be with the team throughout the whole Global T20 season.
