Mustafizur Rahman turned 30 on September 6, as the Bangladesh pacer was born on this day in 1995. Mustafizur was born in Satkhira, Khulna, Bangladesh, and is the youngest of Abul Qasem Gazi and Mahmuda Khatun’s six children. He began his cricketing career in 2012 when he appeared in a fast bowlers’ camp in Dhaka.
Mustafizur started both his first-class cricket and List-A cricket in 2014, representing Khulna Division and Abahani Limited, respectively. He made his Bangladesh international debut in 2015 across all three formats.
He picked up 11 wickets against India in his first two ODIs in 2015 and has had an impressive career so far. He played only 15 Tests in his career before calling time in the format due to injury concerns. He took 31 wickets with a best of 4/37. In 112 ODIs, Mustafizur has 175 wickets at an economy of 5.18 with a best of 6/43 while he has 142 wickets in 113 T20Is at an economy of 7.30 with a best of 6/10.
Despite his talent, Mustafizur’s career has been marred by injuries to his shoulder and knees. He has excellent line and length, as well as modest pace, which allows him to trouble batters. Furthermore, his agile wrist has allowed him to develop a variety of slower deliveries to keep batters guessing.
Mustafizur has played for Bangladesh in multiple World Cups in both T20Is and ODIs. He has 25 wickets in ICC ODI World Cups and 28 wickets in ICC T20 World Cups. He has also excelled in T20 leagues thanks to his brilliant left-arm pace and death-overs bowling skills. He has played in the IPL, CPL, BPL, T20 Blast, and PSL. Mustafizur has 365 wickets In 291 T20s.
