He is currently in isolation at home.
Mortaza, a Member of Parliament from Narail has been working to fight the health crisis in his constituency.

Bangladesh were scheduled to tour Sri Lanka in July for three Tests (part of World Test Championship) and later host New Zealand in August but both series look unlikely now.
