Early Life, Childhood and Family Background
Birthplace and upbringing in Khulna
Mehidy Hasan Miraz was born on 25 October 1997 in Khulna, Bangladesh. He grew up in the Khulna region, where his early interest in cricket developed into a serious sporting ambition.
His childhood and introduction to cricket have been described in Bangladeshi profiles as a period when he had to balance his family’s expectations about education with his interest in playing cricket.
A profile published by UNB in 2022 described financial difficulties in the family and reported that his father, Md Jalal Hossain, worked as an auto-rickshaw driver. It also described his mother’s support for his cricket ambitions. These details provide useful background, although the more personal childhood anecdotes are supported by regional reporting rather than extensive independent documentation. unb.com.bd+1
His parents and siblings
Mehidy’s father is identified in contemporary reporting as Jalal Hossain. His father’s name also appears in the reporting surrounding Mehidy’s 2019 marriage.
A 2022 UNB profile described his immediate family as including his parents and a younger sister. Detailed, independently corroborated information about his mother’s name, his sister’s identity and their occupations is not sufficiently established.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s wife
Wife: Rabeya Akter Priti
Mehidy married Rabeya Akter Priti on 21 March 2019 in Khulna, Bangladesh.
According to contemporary reports by Dhaka Tribune and bdnews24.com, the couple had known each other for several years before their marriage. The wedding ceremony took place at the bride’s residence in Khalishpur, Khulna, with members of both families attending.
His father, Jalal Hossain, confirmed the marriage to reporters. Mehidy also shared news of his marriage publicly through Facebook. dhakatribune.com+1
Information about children and other private family details should not be added without stronger public confirmation.
Education, Cricket Academy and Early Coaches
Mehidy’s cricket development was closely connected with Khulna’s local cricket environment.
Kashipur Cricket Academy
Several Bangladeshi profiles associate his early training with Kashipur Cricket Academy in Khulna.
A UNB profile identifies Md Al Mahmud as a coach who helped him progress at the academy. Another cricket profile credits former Bangladesh off-spinner Sheikh Salahuddin with first identifying his talent and helping him develop his off-spin bowling.
These references should not be confused as necessarily describing the same coaching relationship. One concerns academy development, while the other identifies an early talent-discovery and technical influence. unb.com.bd+2
His exact school qualifications and higher-education history are not established sufficiently by the stronger sources reviewed.
Under-19 Career: The 2016 World Cup Breakthrough
Bangladesh`s Miraz best player in U-19 WC
The 2016 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup was the tournament that brought Mehidy Hasan Miraz to international attention.
He captained Bangladesh’s Under-19 team and delivered outstanding performances with both bat and ball. Bangladesh reached the semi-finals for the first time in the competition’s history and eventually finished third.
Player of the Tournament in 2016
His tournament figures were:
| Category | Performance |
|---|---|
| Matches | 6 |
| Runs | 242 |
| Batting average | 60.50 |

| Bowling average | 17.66 |
| Award | Player of the Tournament |
The ICC’s contemporary report records 242 runs in five innings and 12 wickets. He was named Player of the Tournament after the final between West Indies and India. ICC+2
Bangladesh’s historic semi-final appearance
Under Mehidy’s leadership, Bangladesh defeated several strong youth teams and reached the semi-finals.
The team eventually lost to West Indies, the eventual champions. Mehidy contributed 60 runs and took two wickets in that semi-final.
Although Bangladesh did not reach the final, the third-place finish was a major achievement for the country’s youth cricket programme.
His leadership record was also notable. Contemporary reporting credited him with nine Under-19 World Cup victories as captain, surpassing the previous tournament record cited in that report. ICC+1
The tournament demonstrated that Mehidy was more than a promising young spinner. He was already capable of influencing matches in multiple disciplines.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz and the IPL
Mehidy does not have a verified Indian Premier League playing career in the career records reviewed for this biography.
An auction-value or hypothetical market-price estimate should not be presented as an official IPL contract. No IPL appearance or officially confirmed IPL signing has been established here.
International Career: Bangladesh’s All-Rounder
Mehidy’s international career began in October 2016 when Bangladesh selected him for the Test series against England.
He subsequently made his ODI and T20I debuts in 2017.
His international development is particularly notable because he initially earned recognition primarily as a bowler before becoming a more substantial contributor with the bat.
Test debut against England in 2016
1st Test: Bangladesh debutant Mehedi Hasan’s five-wicket haul hampers England – India Today
Mehidy made his Test debut on 20 October 2016 against England in Chattogram.
He immediately demonstrated his ability to trouble experienced international batters.
In the first Test, he took 6/80 in England’s first innings. His performance helped Bangladesh put England under pressure in a closely contested match.
The second Test in Mirpur proved even more significant.
He took 6/82 in England’s first innings and 6/77 in the second innings, finishing with match figures of 12/159.
Bangladesh won the match by 108 runs, recording a memorable Test victory.
His 19 wickets across the two-match series earned him Player of the Series recognition. At the time, this was a record for the most wickets taken in a debut two-Test series, surpassing the previous mark associated with John Ferris. cricket.com.au+1
This performance established Mehidy as one of Bangladesh’s most promising young Test bowlers.
Becoming one of Bangladesh’s leading Test spinners
Following his breakthrough against England, Mehidy continued to develop into an important member of Bangladesh’s Test attack.
He became the fastest Bangladeshi bowler to reach 100 Test wickets, achieving the milestone in 24 matches.
His bowling style relies on right-arm off-break deliveries, accuracy, changes in pace and the ability to create pressure through sustained spells.
He has also become increasingly important as a lower-middle-order batter.
First Test century against West Indies in 2021
Mehidy scored his maiden Test century against West Indies in Chattogram in February 2021.
He made 103 runs in Bangladesh’s first innings, helping the home team reach 430.
The innings came in a match in which Bangladesh built a substantial total and placed themselves in a strong position. His century marked a significant stage in his development from a specialist bowling prospect into a genuine batting contributor. DAWN.COM+1
Pakistan tour in 2024: The 165-run partnership
One of the most important batting performances of Mehidy’s Test career came against Pakistan at Rawalpindi in August 2024.
Bangladesh were under pressure in the second Test after Pakistan had posted 274 in their first innings.
Mehidy scored 78 from 124 balls and formed a remarkable 165-run sixth-wicket partnership with Litton Das.
The partnership transformed Bangladesh’s innings and helped the visitors establish a first-innings lead.
Bangladesh eventually won the match by six wickets, completing a historic 2–0 Test series victory in Pakistan.
Mehidy also contributed with the ball, taking five wickets for 61 runs in Pakistan’s first innings. cricbuzz.com+1
The 2025 Zimbabwe Test: Century and five-wicket haul
His performance against Zimbabwe in April 2025 was among the most complete all-round displays of his career.
In the second Test at Chattogram, Mehidy scored 104 runs from 162 balls, including 11 fours and a six.
He also took five wickets for 32 runs in Zimbabwe’s second innings.
Bangladesh won by an innings and 106 runs, levelling the two-match series.
The achievement placed him in an exclusive group of Test cricketers who have scored a century and taken a five-wicket haul in the same match.
He became only the third Bangladeshi player to achieve the feat, after Shakib Al Hasan and Sohag Gazi. ICC+2
The performance also earned him significant recognition as an all-rounder. He finished the series with 15 wickets and 116 runs across the two Tests and received Player of the Series recognition. Sports+1

ODI debut against Sri Lanka
Mehidy made his One Day International debut against Sri Lanka on 25 March 2017 at Dambulla.
His selection followed his outstanding Test introduction and established his place in Bangladesh’s developing white-ball setup.
In ODIs, his role gradually expanded beyond bowling. He became a useful middle-order and lower-order batter, capable of stabilising an innings and accelerating when required.
His off-spin has also been particularly useful in the middle overs.
The 81 against Afghanistan in 2022
One of his significant ODI batting performances came against Afghanistan in February 2022.
Mehidy scored 81 runs during Bangladesh’s successful ODI chase, helping the team secure victory.
The innings was historically notable for the high batting position context: it was reported as the highest individual score in a successful ODI chase by a batter at No. 8 or lower at that time. ICC
Maiden ODI century against India in December 2022
The second ODI against India on 7 December 2022 was a defining moment in Mehidy’s batting career.
Bangladesh were struggling at 69 for six when Mehidy joined Mahmudullah.
The two batters built a 148-run seventh-wicket partnership, dramatically changing the direction of the innings.
Mahmudullah contributed 77 runs, while Mehidy continued batting after his partner’s dismissal and completed his maiden ODI century.
He finished unbeaten on 100.
The achievement was historically important because he became only the second batter to score an ODI hundred from No. 8 or lower, joining Ireland’s Simi Singh.
Their 148-run seventh-wicket partnership was also the highest for that wicket against India in men’s ODIs at the time. ICC+1

T20 International career
Mehidy made his T20I debut against Sri Lanka on 6 April 2017.
His T20I role has mainly involved off-spin bowling and lower-order batting.
He has also contributed important bowling performances in the format, including a best return of 4/12.
The available career statistics through his last recorded T20I appearances show:
- Matches: 34
- Runs: 418

ODI Captaincy: Leading Bangladesh in 2025–2026
Miraz named Bangladesh ODI captain | Sports
On 12 June 2025, the Bangladesh Cricket Board appointed Mehidy Hasan Miraz as the national ODI captain, replacing Najmul Hossain Shanto.
The appointment reflected his growing experience, all-round contributions and previous opportunities to captain the national side.
His full-time captaincy began with Bangladesh’s ODI series against Sri Lanka in July 2025. ICC+1
His leadership record
During his captaincy, Bangladesh recorded several important home series victories, including series successes against West Indies, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand, according to the ICC’s July 2026 retrospective.
The ICC reported that Bangladesh won 10 and lost nine of 20 matches during his tenure. ICC
Why did Mehidy lose the ODI captaincy?
On 29 July 2026, the BCB appointed Litton Das as Bangladesh’s new ODI captain.
The change followed Bangladesh’s 2–1 ODI series defeat against Zimbabwe.
The board explained that it wanted to use one captain across both white-ball formats. President Tamim Iqbal also indicated that Mehidy would be able to concentrate more fully on his batting and bowling.
Mehidy’s captaincy period therefore ended in July 2026. His removal did not mean retirement or removal from the national team. He remained an active Bangladesh international. ICC+2

Playing Style: What Makes Mehidy Hasan Miraz Effective?
Mehidy is a bowling all-rounder whose primary skill is right-arm off-spin.
His career has developed through three connected strengths.
1. Accurate off-spin bowling
He is capable of bowling extended spells in Test cricket, maintaining pressure and forcing batters to take risks.
His debut series against England demonstrated his ability to exploit turning conditions and attack both right-handed and left-handed batters.
2. Improved batting ability
His batting has developed substantially since his early international years.
The centuries against West Indies and Zimbabwe in Tests and his unbeaten ODI century against India demonstrate his ability to contribute beyond the lower-order role in which he initially became known.
3. All-round match influence
His greatest value comes from contributing in both innings of a match.
The 2025 Zimbabwe Test, in which he scored 104 and took five wickets, provides a particularly clear example of his all-round influence.
Awards and Recognition
Important recognition includes:
- 2016 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup Player of the Tournament.
- Player of the Series against England in his 2016 Test debut series.
- Player of the Series in Bangladesh’s 2025 Test series against Zimbabwe.
- Player of the Match recognition for major international performances.
- ICC Men’s Player of the Month, April 2025, as recorded on his ICC profile. ICC+3
Injuries, Controversies and Career Setbacks
No major verified disciplinary ban or match-fixing conviction has been established in the sources reviewed for this biography.
His removal from ODI captaincy in July 2026 was a leadership decision rather than a retirement announcement or a confirmed disciplinary sanction.
A complete medical or injury history should not be inferred from selection changes. Any specific injury claim requires a dated board announcement or reliable medical reporting.
