Mushfiqur Rahim said : "It's not that easy to spend 15 years in international cricket playing three formats in a country like Bangladesh. There are not many who played such a long time in our country. Maybe there were some in the past when there was not much international cricket. But if you consider the volume of cricket now as we play nonstop cricket for 9-10 months in a year it's amazing. There are not only international cricket, we also have to play in the other competitions like BPL, NCL, BCL etcs, so there is a question of fitness and consistency," "It's human nature as we want more in our life. If someone has a car he thinks about another. But I have some satisfaction over what I did in the last 6-7 years. But undoubtedly the start was not something as I expected. I am now happy as I have started to get the fruits of my hard work, especially from 2012. If I can continue my current form then hopefully, I will be able to tell you in the end of my career that 'I am more than happy'"

Mushfiqur Rahim said ( about Tamim Iqbal ) : "While representing Bangladesh, at times we get the success and at times we fail but that doesn't mean the team fail for one individual and it is the same when we win a game as well. I think that it is not just the supporters but also the media should treat us equally. I will never accept that my fans will say bad things about Mashrafe, Tamim, or any other player,"

We should follow the government directives even if it is to respect their dedication and effort,”
