Anamul Haque, widely known as Anamul Haque Bijoy, is a Bangladeshi right-handed batter and wicketkeeper whose career has combined international cricket, domestic consistency and a remarkable record in Bangladesh’s Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League. Born on 16 December 1992 in Kushtia, he first attracted widespread attention as captain of Bangladesh’s Under-19 team at the 2012 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, where he scored 519 runs across the tournament’s two-year career span recorded by the ICC.

+1 His senior career brought him three ODI centuries, appearances at the 2015 Cricket World Cup and a difficult recovery from a serious shoulder injury. In 2022, he made domestic cricket history by scoring 1,138 runs in a single List A tournament season, demonstrating his ability to dominate at the highest level of Bangladesh’s domestic one-day competition.

Who Is Anamul Haque Bijoy?
Anamul Haque Bijoy is a Bangladeshi international cricketer who has played as a wicketkeeper-batter. His career is particularly notable for the contrast between an impressive start at international level and his later success in domestic cricket.
He became a prominent young player through Bangladesh’s age-group system before earning senior selection in 2012. His ODI debut came against the West Indies, and he scored a century in only his second ODI appearance, establishing himself as an exciting opening-batter prospect.
Cricbuzz.com
+1
Anamul’s career subsequently included three important phases:
- International breakthrough: His early ODI centuries and performances in the 2014 Asia Cup established his reputation.
- Injury and selection setbacks: A shoulder dislocation during the 2015 World Cup interrupted his international progress.
- Domestic resurgence: His extraordinary 2021–22 Dhaka Premier League season, featuring 1,138 runs, strengthened his case for renewed international consideration.
ICC+2
His story is not simply about international appearances. It is also about a wicketkeeper-batter who continued producing substantial domestic returns despite periods outside Bangladesh’s senior side.
Anamul Haque’s Early Life, Birthplace and Education
Anamul Haque was born in Kushtia, in southwestern Bangladesh. His hometown is an important part of his biographical profile, and his early cricket development preceded his emergence as a Bangladesh age-group and senior international player.
en.wikipedia.org
+1
Schooling and Cricket Development
Published biographical information identifies two stages in his education:
- Kushtia Zilla School: He studied there until the sixth grade.
- Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP): He subsequently attended Bangladesh’s specialist sports education institution, which combines academic education with structured athletic development.
en.wikipedia.org
BKSP has played a role in developing Bangladeshi cricketers by providing an organised environment for training and competition. Anamul’s progression from school cricket into the national youth structure was consistent with the pathway used by many players who advance through Bangladesh’s organised cricket system.
However, detailed public documentation of his first coach, academy training schedule, childhood financial circumstances and the occupations of his parents is limited in the sources reviewed. Those details should not be inferred without stronger evidence.
Anamul Haque’s Under-19 Career and the 2012 World Cup
Anamul’s youth career established the foundation for his senior international opportunity. He progressed through Bangladesh’s Under-19 setup and captained the national team at the 2012 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in Australia. The ICC’s announcement dated 6 July 2012 listed him as captain, with Quazi Nurul Hasan as vice-captain.
ICC
+1
Captaincy and Tournament Performance
Anamul was one of the leading batters in the 2012 Under-19 World Cup cycle. ICC tournament records credit him with 519 runs across 12 matches spanning the 2010–2012 period, with a highest score of 128, two centuries and two half-centuries.
images.icc-cricket.com
His performances were important for two reasons: they demonstrated that he could score heavily in international youth competition, and they gave Bangladesh a wicketkeeper-batter with leadership experience before his senior debut.

The 128 Against Pakistan
One of Anamul’s most memorable youth performances was his 128 against Pakistan Under-19 on 24 August 2012 at Endeavour Park No. 2 in Townsville, Australia. The innings was recorded among the centuries in Under-19 World Cup history.
en.wikipedia.org
The innings underlined his ability to convert a start into a major score against international youth opposition. It also became one of the defining performances associated with his early reputation as a top-order batter.
His Under-19 success helped make the transition to senior domestic and international cricket a realistic next step rather than a distant ambition.

Anamul Haque’s Domestic Cricket Career
Anamul made his first-class debut for Dhaka Division in the 2008–09 season, beginning a domestic career that would span several teams and formats. His early senior experience came before his international debut, giving him exposure to Bangladesh’s domestic structure while he was still developing as a young wicketkeeper-batter.
Cricbuzz.com
+1
Domestic Teams and Career Progression
Anamul has represented a number of domestic sides and clubs, including:
- Dhaka Division
- Khulna Division
- Prime Bank Cricket Club
- Abahani Limited
- Gazi Group Cricketers
- Chittagong Vikings
- Comilla Victorians
- Dhaka Gladiators
These associations cover different competitions, including first-class cricket, List A cricket and domestic T20 tournaments. They should not be interpreted as evidence that he played for every team in every format.
cricketarchive.com
+2
His career also illustrates the importance of Bangladesh’s domestic one-day competition. Although international selection has been intermittent, his performances in the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League have provided some of the strongest statistical evidence of his batting ability.
The 2021–22 Dhaka Premier League Record
The 2021–22 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League was the defining domestic season of Anamul’s career. Representing Prime Bank Cricket Club, he accumulated 1,138 runs in 15 matches, finishing with an average of 81.28 and a strike rate of 98.61 according to contemporary tournament reporting.

The season was historically significant because Anamul became the first batter to score more than 1,000 runs in a single edition of the Dhaka Premier League after the competition acquired List A status. The previous benchmark cited in contemporary reporting was Saif Hassan’s 814 runs in 2019.
dhakatribune.com

Anamul finished the season with a final innings of 96 against Gazi Group Cricketers. In that match, he opened alongside Tamim Iqbal, and their partnership helped Prime Bank post a large total. The performance capped a season in which Anamul’s consistency was as important as his individual hundreds.
dhakatribune.com
+1
The 184 Against Shinepukur Cricket Club
Another major performance came during the same tournament, when Anamul scored 184 against Shinepukur Cricket Club. The innings became one of the most prominent individual performances of the competition and contributed to his record-setting aggregate.
unb.com.bd
+1
The broader significance of the season was that Anamul was no longer relying on memories of his early international promise. He was producing sustained runs in a competitive domestic List A tournament, creating a clear statistical argument for another opportunity at higher representative level.
Anamul’s 2023 Domestic Form
Anamul continued to produce notable innings after the record-breaking campaign. On 16 March 2023, he scored 123 from 118 balls for Abahani Limited against Brothers Union in the Dhaka Premier League. His innings contained six fours and six sixes, and Abahani posted 372 for six before winning by 124 runs.
tbsnews.net
That performance showed that his 2022 season was not an isolated statistical achievement. He remained capable of building substantial one-day innings and scoring boundaries at a useful rate.
Anamul Haque’s International Cricket Career
Anamul’s senior international career began in 2012, when Bangladesh gave him opportunities in ODI and T20I cricket. He later made his Test debut in March 2013. His international record includes appearances in all three formats, although his opportunities have varied considerably over time.
cricket.com.au

ODI Career: A Century in His Second Match
Anamul made his ODI debut against the West Indies at Khulna on 30 November 2012, scoring 41. In his second match, on 2 December, he struck 120 from 145 balls, helping Bangladesh reach 292 for six and defeat the West Indies by 160 runs.

Rediff Cricket

The century was an exceptional start to a young international career. Rather than merely recording a personal milestone, it contributed to a major team victory and established Anamul as a batter capable of making substantial contributions in ODI cricket.
The 2014 Asia Cup and ODI Progress
Anamul’s early international career continued with significant contributions in the 2014 Asia Cup. Contemporary career summaries record a century against Pakistan and a half-century against India during the tournament.
Cricbuzz.com
+1
He also had a productive ODI series against Zimbabwe in November and December 2014. Cricbuzz’s career summary records 200 runs across five matches, including two half-centuries.
Cricbuzz.com
These performances helped establish his credentials as an opening batter, but maintaining a permanent place in Bangladesh’s team proved more difficult. Competition for top-order places and later injury disrupted his progress.
Anamul’s ODI Career at a Glance
The career figures listed by Cricket.com.au give Anamul 49 ODIs, 1,352 runs, three centuries, five half-centuries and a highest score of 120. His listed batting average is 29.39, with a strike rate of approximately 74.78.

Test Cricket: A Limited but Continuing International Record
Anamul made his Test debut against Sri Lanka at Galle on 8 March 2013. His Test career has been less productive statistically than his early ODI career, with a highest score of 39 according to the available career profile.

He returned to Test cricket during Bangladesh’s 2025 tour of Sri Lanka. In the first Test at Galle, he was dismissed for a duck in the first innings. In the second Test at Colombo, he scored 0 and 19.

These appearances are important when describing his career status: his international story did not end with the 2015 shoulder injury, and his later Test selection showed that he remained in contention for opportunities at senior level.

T20 International Career
Anamul made his T20I debut against the West Indies on 10 December 2012. The available career profile records 20 T20I matches, 445 runs, a highest score of 58 and one half-century.

His T20I record is distinct from his domestic T20 record. Domestic franchise performances should not be combined with international T20I figures because the two categories represent different levels of competition.

Anamul Haque and the 2015 Cricket World Cup Injury
The 2015 Cricket World Cup was a major turning point in Anamul’s career. He was selected for Bangladesh’s tournament squad and appeared in three matches, scoring 29 against Afghanistan and 29 against Sri Lanka before an injury ended his campaign.
ICC
+1
How the Shoulder Injury Happened
On 5 March 2015, while Bangladesh were playing Scotland at Saxton Oval in Nelson, Anamul injured his shoulder while attempting to prevent a boundary. Reports at the time described a dislocated shoulder, and Bangladesh replaced him with Imrul Kayes for the remainder of the tournament.
Rediff Cricket
+1
The injury was especially damaging because Anamul had been part of Bangladesh’s opening-batting plans. The timing meant he lost an opportunity to establish himself during a major international tournament, and his subsequent return to full fitness did not immediately translate into a regular place in the national side.
Recovery and Return to Domestic Cricket
Anamul returned to competitive cricket in 2015, playing longer-format domestic matches after his shoulder injury. In April that year, he scored 94 from 226 balls for Prime Bank South Zone against BCB North Zone in the Bangladesh Cricket League. His innings helped steady the innings after an early collapse.
The Daily Star
By July 2015, he had returned to Bangladesh’s ODI squad for the series against South Africa. Contemporary reporting noted that he had recovered from shoulder surgery and had played three first-class matches, scoring a century and three half-centuries during his return period.
The Daily Star
His subsequent international opportunities remained inconsistent. The injury itself was a clear interruption, but the later selection story also involved competition for places and the need to translate domestic form into regular senior appearances.
Anamul Haque’s Career Stats and Records
Anamul’s international and domestic statistics tell different parts of his career. His ODI record reflects an explosive early breakthrough, while his domestic List A record includes the exceptional 1,138-run season in 2022.

These records should be understood in their proper context. The DPL milestone concerns a single season of that tournament in its List A era; it is not a claim that Anamul holds the world record for the most List A runs in every possible tournament or format.
Anamul Haque’s Bangladesh Premier League and Franchise Career
Alongside domestic cricket, Anamul has played in Bangladesh’s franchise T20 structure. His recorded teams include Dhaka Gladiators, Chittagong Vikings and Comilla Victorians, with other franchise associations appearing in career profiles.
Wikipedia
+1
His Bangladesh Premier League participation must be distinguished from the Indian Premier League. The reviewed sources establish his involvement in Bangladesh’s franchise competitions, but they do not establish an IPL playing appearance for him.
Anamul’s franchise career has given him opportunities to play alongside other domestic and international cricketers, while his primary statistical strengths have often been most visible in longer domestic one-day competitions.
Franchise Career: What Is Verified?
- Bangladesh Premier League: He has played in the BPL, including a recorded debut for Comilla Victorians in January 2022.

- Dhaka Gladiators: Listed among his past teams.

Reliable, current documentation of every draft price, franchise contract value and season-by-season fee was not established in the sources reviewed. Those amounts should not be inferred from salary-estimation websites.
Anamul Haque’s Playing Style and Role as a Wicketkeeper-Batter
Anamul is a right-handed top-order batter who has also played as a wicketkeeper. His strongest statistical performances have often come in ODI and List A cricket, where he has demonstrated an ability to build an innings and convert a start into a large score.
Cricket Australia
+1
His career offers two particularly clear examples of his batting role:
- ODI cricket: His 120 against the West Indies in 2012 demonstrated that he could bat for a substantial period and produce a match-defining innings.
- Domestic List A cricket: His 1,138-run DPL season in 2022 showed sustained consistency across a tournament rather than success in a single match.
His wicketkeeping background is also an important part of his player profile. However, a detailed comparison of his keeping technique, standing positions, strengths against spin and pace, or specialist coaching influences would require more direct technical analysis or reliable coaching interviews than the available sources establish.
Anamul Haque’s Family, Wife and Personal Life
Anamul’s cricket career and birthplace are documented in public profiles, but detailed information about his immediate family is less consistently reported in the sources reviewed.
A responsible biography should distinguish confirmed public facts from unsupported claims.
| Personal-life query | Evidence-based position |
|---|---|
| Parents’ names and occupations | Not reliably established in the sources reviewed |
| Brothers or sisters | Not reliably established |
| Wife or marital status | Not reliably established through sufficiently strong sources reviewed |

| Hometown | Kushtia, Bangladesh |
| Education | Kushtia Zilla School and Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan are reported in biographical summaries |
Wikipedia

The absence of reliable confirmation is not evidence that a particular family relationship does not exist. It simply means a biography should not publish names, occupations or relationship claims without adequate verification.
Anamul Haque’s Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements
Anamul’s net worth cannot be responsibly stated as a specific figure without dependable financial reporting or verified disclosures. The sources reviewed provide cricket statistics, team associations and career milestones, but do not establish a reliable personal wealth estimate.
His potential professional earnings could include domestic contracts, franchise fees, match payments and sponsorships. However, these categories should not be treated as confirmed personal income unless supported by contracts, official announcements or reliable financial reporting.
The following distinctions matter:
- BPL contract value: A verified season-specific figure would be needed before publishing an amount.
- Salary: No dependable comprehensive annual salary figure was established.
- Endorsements: No sufficiently documented current endorsement portfolio was established.
- Business interests: No reliably verified business ownership was established.
- Net worth: No dependable public estimate could be independently verified from the sources reviewed.
A precise monetary figure would therefore create a false impression of certainty.
Anamul Haque’s Current Status
Status reviewed for 26 October 2026
Anamul remained active in competitive cricket after his 2025 Test appearances. Available 2026 records list domestic competition involving Prime Bank Cricket Club and Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League matches.
IPL

His recent career should be understood across two levels: senior international cricket and Bangladesh’s domestic competitions.
Current-status summary
- National team: His latest international appearances identified in the reviewed sources were the June 2025 Tests against Sri Lanka.
- Domestic cricket: 2026 records list appearances or team participation in Bangladesh’s domestic competitions.

- International retirement: No reliable announcement of retirement from all forms of cricket was identified.
- Current national selection: A latest official squad announcement was not independently established for this review.
- Current contract and injury status: No definitive current official announcement was verified.
It would therefore be inaccurate to label Anamul retired solely because his international appearances have been intermittent. Domestic activity and national-team selection are separate matters, and the latter requires confirmation from the latest official squad or match announcement.
Anamul Haque’s Career Significance
Anamul Haque Bijoy’s career is defined by the contrast between an outstanding early ODI breakthrough, the disruption of a major injury and sustained success in domestic one-day cricket. His 120 against the West Indies in his second ODI demonstrated his potential on the international stage, while his 1,138-run Dhaka Premier League season in 2022 established a major domestic milestone.
Rediff Cricket
+1
His career also illustrates how international opportunities can fluctuate even when a player continues to produce substantial domestic performances. The shoulder injury of 2015 interrupted his initial progress, but he continued competing and later returned to Bangladesh’s senior Test side.
The clearest measure of his contribution is therefore not a single career total. It is the combination of youth leadership, international milestones, recovery from injury and a record-breaking domestic season.
