Spitty only did some editing, the translation was done by me.

Let me do the hindi translation first and then I will send it to you for minor editing.

Then delay the publication from tomorrow to next moth.

[Miraz]

I understand that some members are not happy to wait, but I have to wait till tomorrow to publish the interview.

Cricinfo is also going to publish the interview and they have to wait till tomorrow for same reason.

We are amateurs here, but I have to do some stuffs maintaining professional norms, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do similar things (like interview of national players) in future.

I do apologise for your inconvenience, but I had no options left.

Thanks for your understanding.

Both Bangla and English version published.

So how much you made? Are you supposed to pay Rafiq a part of it?

Why we are not leaving these matters to those people who are suppose to deal?

Nothing! trust me, simply nothing!!

Giving Bangladesh cricket , and also BanglaCricket, a better coverage is much more important to me than money.

I haven't asked for any money, I am happy that they have published the interview which was important for Bangladesh cricket and at the end of the interview BanglaCricket is mentioned. That's enough inspiration for me.

Congrats Miraz bhai on getting published once again! I was surprised to learn just how much they edited your piece though, even the questions you asked! I guess they kept the gist of it, so im not complaining...

They have just edited few questions, omitted the intro and kept the main part of the interview intact.
