Jamaluddin Ahmed is a former Bangladeshi cricketer who represented Bangladesh in one One Day International (ODI) against England in November 2003. Born on January 5, 1977, in Jessore, Khulna, he was a right-handed batter and right-arm off-break bowler who built most of his career in Bangladesh’s domestic cricket system. His strongest achievements came in first-class cricket, where he scored more than 3,000 runs and took over 140 wickets for Khulna Division. One of the defining moments of his career was his 121-run innings in the 2002–03 National Cricket League final, which helped Khulna defeat Dhaka Division and earned him the Player of the Match award. His career illustrates the contribution of domestic all-rounders to Bangladesh cricket during its early years as a Test-playing nation.

Who Is Jamaluddin Ahmed?
Jamaluddin Ahmed belongs to the generation of Bangladeshi cricketers whose careers were shaped largely by domestic first-class competition. Although he reached the senior national team, his international career was brief. His longer record for Khulna Division provides a fuller picture of his cricketing ability.
He contributed in two disciplines:
- Batting: He scored 3,046 first-class runs, including four centuries and 15 half-centuries.
- Bowling: His right-arm off-break bowling brought him 141 first-class wickets, with four five-wicket innings and one ten-wicket match.
- Fielding: CricketArchive records 42 catches in first-class cricket.
- Domestic success: His 121 in the 2002–03 National Cricket League final was central to Khulna Division’s championship victory.

These figures identify him as a genuine domestic all-round contributor, even though his international record consists of only one ODI.
Early Life, Family Background and Education
Jamaluddin Ahmed was born in Jessore, in Bangladesh’s Khulna region, on January 5, 1977. His birthplace connects him geographically with the region represented by Khulna Division, the principal team associated with his senior domestic career.

The available cricket profiles establish his birth details and playing background, but they do not provide a sufficiently documented account of his childhood or the circumstances in which he first began playing cricket.
The following personal details could not be established reliably from the sources reviewed:
- His father’s and mother’s names and occupations.
- The names of his siblings or other family members.
- His school, college or university.
- His first cricket coach or academy.
- His height and weight.
- His marital status, spouse or children.
These details should not be supplied from unsupported biography websites or assumptions. The absence of verified information about his private life does not diminish the documented record of his cricket career.
Jamaluddin Ahmed’s Domestic Cricket Career
Jamaluddin’s domestic career was built around Khulna Division, for which he played first-class and List A cricket from the 2000–01 season through 2007–08, according to CricketArchive. His first-class record shows a player who contributed with both bat and ball rather than specializing exclusively in one discipline.

A batting average above 30 across 64 first-class matches indicates a meaningful contribution at domestic level. His four centuries and 15 fifties also show that his contribution extended beyond occasional lower-order runs.
First-Class Bowling: 141 Wickets
Jamaluddin’s bowling record is another important part of his career. As a right-arm off-break bowler, he took 141 wickets in first-class cricket.

His best figures of 8/67 demonstrate his capacity to take wickets in a single innings. His overall combination of 3,046 runs and 141 wickets is more informative than describing him solely as a batter, as some short profile summaries do.

The 121 in the 2002–03 National Cricket League Final

Jamaluddin scored 121 from 196 balls in Khulna’s first innings. His innings included 14 fours and one six, helping Khulna reach 338 all out in reply to Dhaka’s 362.

Other Notable Domestic Performances
The 2002–03 final was not his only substantial contribution for Khulna Division.
Two important innings against Dhaka Division in 2001–02
In a National Cricket League match at Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium from February 14 to 17, 2002, Jamaluddin scored an unbeaten 54 in Khulna’s first innings and followed it with 82 in the second innings. Khulna nevertheless lost by ten wickets.
i.imgci.com
The match illustrates that he could make significant contributions across both innings of a first-class game, even when the overall team result was unfavorable.
Best bowling figures against Barisal Division
His best recorded first-class innings figures were 8/67, achieved against Barisal Division during the 2005–06 season. His best match return was recorded as 8/67 and 3/45, respectively, giving him 11 wickets across the match.

This performance provides the clearest evidence of his wicket-taking ceiling as an off-spinner. His four first-class five-wicket innings and one ten-wicket match further support the importance of bowling to his domestic career.

Playing Style: Right-Handed Batter and Off-Spin Bowler
Jamaluddin was a right-handed batter and right-arm off-break bowler. His first-class totals show why his career is best described as that of a domestic batting-and-bowling contributor rather than a specialist batter.
CricketArchive
His batting average of 31.08 in first-class cricket, combined with four centuries, indicates an ability to build substantial innings. The 121 in the National Cricket League final is the clearest example of that contribution under championship conditions.
His bowling record is equally relevant. A total of 141 first-class wickets at an average of 29.89, including 8/67 and a ten-wicket match, demonstrates sustained wicket-taking output across his domestic career. However, detailed evidence about his preferred bowling plans, technical batting methods or tactical role is not established in the reviewed sources, so those details should not be presented as fact.
Jamaluddin Ahmed’s Family, Net Worth and Personal Life
Publicly accessible cricket records provide much more information about Jamaluddin’s playing career than his private life. The reviewed sources do not establish his parents’ identities, spouse, children, educational qualifications, business interests or personal assets.
No dependable, independently verifiable public net-worth estimate was established from the sources reviewed. His career statistics and former international status are not sufficient to calculate his wealth or lifetime earnings.
Likewise, no reliable evidence was established for specific endorsement contracts, equipment sponsorships, charity initiatives or business ventures. These subjects should remain unclaimed unless authoritative reporting or primary documentation becomes available.
Current Status and Post-Cricket Career
Jamaluddin’s recorded first-class and List A career spans end with the 2007–08 season, while his only recorded ODI appearance was in 2003. These records support describing him as a former Bangladesh international cricketer, but they do not establish the precise date on which he retired from all forms of cricket.

As of October 26, 2026, the sources reviewed did not establish a current coaching appointment, cricket administration role, media career or business position. It would therefore be inaccurate to assign him a post-retirement occupation without further evidence.
