Former national team cricketer Mohammad Ashraful became the first Bangladeshi player to receive a Golden Visa from the United Arab Emirates. On Tuesday, Dubai Immigration granted the former captain a ten-year visa.

Ashraful feels honored to have received golden visas like football star Cristiano Ronaldo, Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, golfer Jeev Milkha Singh, former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram and spinner Shoaib Malik.
