Mustafizur Rahman (Bengali: মুস্তাফিজুর রহমান) is a Bangladeshi international cricketer. A left-arm fast-medium bowler,[1] he is recognized for his most prolific 'slower cutters' all over the world.[2][3][4] Born on 6 September 1995, in Satkhira, Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman's career took off during the 2015 Bangladesh Premier League when he caught the attention of cricket pundits with his ability to bowl accurate cutters and slower deliveries, earning him the nickname "The Fizz."[5] This talent quickly propelled him to international prominence.

Making his debut for the Bangladesh national team in 2015, Mustafizur Rahman showcased his skills in the limited-overs formats. Mustafizur's international career highlights includes his debut series against India in 2015, where he became the first player to claim 11 wickets in his first two one day international matches. This achievement propelled Bangladesh to a historic series victory over India.[6] He has represented his country in numerous international tournaments, including the ICC Cricket World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy, and Asia Cup.[7][8] In club career he was acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016 with a fee of $208k, where he won his first Indian Premier League (IPL) title.[9][10] He was the fifth highest wicket taker throughout the tournament.[11] He has subsequently played in the IPL for Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings.

He is the only overseas player to win the Emerging Player Award in 2016 IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad.[12] He was listed in ICC Men's ODI Team of the Year three times (2015, 2018, 2021) and ICC Men's T20I Team of the Year once (2021).[13]

Early career

[edit]

In 2012, Mustafizur travelled to Bangladesh's capital Dhaka to try out for a fast-bowlers camp.[14] Prior to that, scouters first encountered him in an Under-17 tournament in Satkhira.[15] He was admitted to the Bangladesh Cricket Board's foundation of fast bowling. Soon he was selected to the Bangladesh Under-19 side for the 2014 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in UAE, where he took a total of eight wickets.[16]

Mustafizur started both his First-class cricket and List-A cricket from 2014, representing Khulna Division and Abahani Limited, respectively.[17] He was picked for Bangladesh A's tour of West Indies.[18][15]

International career

[edit]

Emergence

[edit]

Mustafizur began his international career in a twenty overs match against Pakistan on 24 April 2015, where he took the wickets of Shahid Afridi and Mohammad Hafeez, two veteran Pakistani batsmen.[19]

In June 2015, India toured Bangladesh for one Test and three One Day Internationals. Mustafizur was picked in the ODI squad. In his first match of the series, Mustafizur gave signs of his potential against the strong Indian batting line-up by taking a five-wicket haul off 9.2 overs in the first match.[20][21] Bangladesh won the match and Mustafizur became the tenth bowler in the history of ODIs to take five wickets on debut.[22][23] In the second ODI, Mustafizur took another six wickets.[24][25] This helped him to earn the record of most wickets of any bowler after two ODIs, surpassing the record previously held by Zimbabwe's Brian Vitori.[26][27] He completed the last ODI with 2 wickets and made history by taking 13 wickets in a three-match ODI series.[28][29]

Injury problems

[edit]

In the month of November, Bangladesh hosted Zimbabwe for three ODIs and two T20s. Mustafizur played a salient role in the ODI matches, taking a total of 8 wickets.[35] For his performances in 2015, he was named in the World ODI XI by ICC.[36] He was also named in the ODI XI of the year 2015 by ESPNcricinfo and Cricbuzz.[37] He captured his third five-wicket haul in the last game.[38][39] He could not contribute much in the T20 series, though he bowled economically, which resulted both sides sharing a win.[40] The next year in January, Bangladesh again played with Zimbabwe in four T20s. Mustafizur played in the first two matches, which they won. While bowling in the second T20I against Zimbabwe in January 2016, Mustafizur injured his shoulder. Following that, he was dropped from the squad for the first time since debut.[41][42]

During the Asia Cup held in the next month, he was again sidelined from the team due to his side strain,[43][44] playing only the first three games.[45][46][47][48] He was able to play against Australia, India and New Zealand in the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 held in India in March.[49][50][51] He became the first Bangladeshi bowler to grab five wickets in the history of T20 World Cup after taking five wickets for 22 runs against New Zealand.[52] He took total of 9 wickets in three matches in the 2016 edition.[53] He was named as 12th man in the 'Team of the Tournament' for the 2016 T20 World Cup by the ICC.[54]

Mustafizur was again unable to play all matches when Bangladesh toured New Zealand during December 2016 and January 2017.[55] He played his first Test match since August 2015 against Sri Lanka at Galle in March 2017, taking eight wickets in the series.

In April 2018, he was one of ten cricketers to be awarded a central contract by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) ahead of the 2018 season.[56]

On 29 May 2018, Mustafizur was ruled out of an upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan due to a toe injury.[57]

2019-onwards

[edit]

In April 2019, he was named in Bangladesh's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[58][59] On 5 July 2019, in the match against Pakistan, Mustafizur took his 100th wicket in ODIs.[60] He finished the tournament as the leading wicket-taker for Bangladesh, with twenty dismissals in eight matches.[61] Following the World Cup, the International Cricket Council (ICC) named Mustafizur as the rising star of the squad.[62]

In September 2021, he was named in Bangladesh's squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[63] In May 2024, he was named in Bangladesh's squad for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup tournament.[64]

Playing style

[edit]

"Mustafizur has a God-gifted slow ball."

— Ashish Nehra[87]

Mustafizur achieved success in the beginning of his international career by bowling off cutters, a type of bowling which moves away (from the right-hander) off of the pitch.[22][88] Mustafizur stated on a press conference in June 2015 that he first discovered the technique after his fellow cricketer, Anamul Haque insisted him to bowl a slower delivery.[14][15] According to former Indian cricketer Maninder Singh, his slower balls are difficult to read.[89]

Personal life

[edit]

Mustafizur grew up in the small town of Satkhira in Khulna, Bangladesh.[18] He is the youngest of Abul Qasem Gazi and Mahmuda Khatun's six children.[90] His father is an enthusiastic fan of cricket.[14] Mustafizur's interest in cricket rose when he started practicing the game 40 kilometres (25 mi)

Fizz with his family members

away from home every morning, with his brother Mokhlesur Rahman. This affected his education as he occasionally missed school to play cricket.[90]

Prior to discovering his bowling talents, Mustafizur played as a batsman with a tennis ball.[15] According to him, he took inspiration from Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir who is his idol.[91]

On 15 March 2019, along with several members of the Bangladesh test team, he was moments from entering the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, when a terrorist attack began. All members of the team were "deeply affected".[92] Mustafizur went on to get married on 22 March. Mustafizur's brother was hopeful that marriage could help him "overcome the shock" of witnessing the attack in New Zealand.[93]
