Barring several local players, Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh are not the only overseas players having visited former skipper Mohammad Ashraful’s house, according to his father Abdul Matil.
Speaking over his mobile from Dhaka on Sunday morning, he said, “Former Pakistani player Saeed Anwar visited our house last year when he came to attend some religious function in Bangladesh.”
“Sachin is my son’s favourite cricketer and since childhood he is his ideal hero. We are very happy to receive him.
Sachin is a very simple, sober and down to earth person,” Ashraful’s father added. “Some 1000 people flocked him to see Sachin at my house. The people came to know about Sachin’s visit through media and mouth to mouth publicity.”
Sachin Tendulkar may need to visit Ashraful again when later marries after 2011 World Cup. “Sachin will be on top of our invitee list when my son decides to marry,” the father added.
Sachin was served few Bangladeshi dishes.
“He liked jumbo prawns and Hilsha fish (Ilish) very much. The sweets and fruits of his choice were also served.”
“Sachin was specifically asked not to bring any gift for the family,” the father said. “Sachin asked my son what should be brought as a family gift but his visit to our home itself will be the biggest gift for us,” the father added.
