Mushfiqur Rahim is one of Bangladesh’s most accomplished cricketers, renowned for his dependable middle-order batting, long international career and contribution as a wicketkeeper. Born on 9 May 1987 in Bogura, Bangladesh, he made his Test debut against England at Lord’s in 2005 when he was just 16. He later became the first Bangladesh batter to score a Test double century, reaching 200 against Sri Lanka in 2013. His career has included national captaincy, landmark victories, major tournament performances and several outstanding individual records. A right-handed batter who has represented Bangladesh across Test, ODI and T20 international cricket, Rahim has helped establish higher standards for the country’s batting and wicketkeeping over two decades.

Early Life, Birthplace and Childhood in Bogura
Mushfiqur Rahim was born in Bogura, a city in northern Bangladesh that has a strong connection to his early cricketing identity. Local reporting identified him as a young wicketkeeper-batter from Bogura during Bangladesh’s 2005 tour of England. His performances on that tour quickly changed his prospects from those of a promising teenager to a realistic candidate for the national Test side. thedailystar.net+1
How Mushfiqur Rahim earned his first major opportunity
Rahim’s early breakthrough came before his international debut. During Bangladesh’s preparations for its first Test tour of England, he impressed in warm-up matches against Sussex and Northamptonshire.
His performances included:
- A score of 63 against Sussex.
- An unbeaten 115 from 167 balls against Northamptonshire, including 15 fours and one six.
- A century that helped Bangladesh recover after losing early wickets in the Northamptonshire fixture.
The Northamptonshire innings was particularly significant because Rahim showed that he could handle pressure against senior opposition. Contemporary reporting described him as an outside contender before the tour, but his runs made a strong case for selection. thedailystar.net+1
These performances helped secure his place for the Lord’s Test in May 2005. He was selected as a batter rather than the team’s specialist wicketkeeper, demonstrating that the selectors valued his batting as well as his keeping potential.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s Family, Parents and Personal Life
Rahim’s family connections include a prominent name in Bangladesh cricket: Mahmudullah is his brother-in-law. The relationship is recorded in the ICC’s player profile. ICC+1
However, personal details about a player’s family should be separated from information that is publicly and reliably documented.
Verified family detail
– Brother-in-law: Mahmudullah, Bangladesh international cricketer.
For the names and occupations of Rahim’s parents, the names of his siblings, and a complete family tree, the sources verified for this article do not provide sufficient authoritative confirmation to publish a comprehensive list confidently. Similarly, personal-life details should not be inferred from unsourced biography websites.
His long cricket career is well documented, but that does not make every personal detail circulating online equally reliable.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s Education, Cricket Development and Early Training
Rahim’s selection for the 2005 England tour is the clearest documented early-development milestone in the sources reviewed here. By the time he reached Lord’s, he had already demonstrated his ability in the tour’s preparatory matches.
A complete, independently verified school-by-school education timeline, including formal qualifications and the names of individual childhood coaches, could not be established from the authoritative sources used for this article. Those details should not be supplied from guesswork.
What is clear is that his early cricket development advanced quickly enough for him to enter Bangladesh’s senior Test side at 16. His selection was based on performance and team requirements, rather than simply his age or his potential as a wicketkeeper.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s International Debut at Lord’s in 2005
Rahim made his Test debut against England at Lord’s on 26 May 2005. He was 16 years and 267 days old, making him the ninth-youngest Test debutant in the historical list published by contemporary reporting. He was also the youngest Test debutant at Lord’s at that time. thedailystar.net+1
Why Bangladesh selected a 16-year-old
Bangladesh was playing its first Test series in England. Rahim’s warm-up performances had given the team a reason to select him, even though he was not used as the specialist wicketkeeper in that debut match.
His debut illustrates an important feature of his career: his batting was considered valuable independently of his wicketkeeping.

| Age | 16 years, 267 days |
| Format | Test cricket |
| Historical distinction | Ninth-youngest Test debutant in the contemporary record list |
The early start gave Rahim international experience while he was still a teenager. It also placed him in a demanding environment, where his subsequent career would require him to develop as both a batter and a wicketkeeper.
His early years in the national team
A Test debut does not guarantee immediate selection in every series. Rahim experienced gaps in his early international appearances, including a return to the Test side against Sri Lanka in Bogura in March 2006. Contemporary reporting noted discussion around his selection and the team’s explanation that the decision reflected its combination requirements. thedailystar.net
His eventual development into a regular senior player was therefore a process rather than an instant transformation after his first match.

Mushfiqur Rahim’s Test Career and Batting Records
Test cricket has been the format in which Rahim has produced some of his most significant individual achievements. His ability to bat for long periods, build substantial innings and contribute as a wicketkeeper-batter has made him a central figure in Bangladesh’s Test history.
The ICC profile available on 29 October 2026 lists him with 106 Test appearances, 6,957 runs, a batting average of 39.08 and a highest score of 219. These figures reflect the profile’s current displayed record and should be preferred over older career summaries. ICC+1
Mushfiqur Rahim’s first Test century against India
Rahim scored 101 against India in Chattogram in January 2010. It was an important early sign that he could convert promising starts into substantial Test innings.
By scoring a century against one of the strongest teams in international cricket, he added evidence that he could contribute as a specialist batter rather than depend on his wicketkeeping role.
The 200 against Sri Lanka in Galle, 2013
Galle Test: Mushfiqur posts Bangladesh’s first test 200 | Cricket News – India TV
Rahim’s unbeaten 200 against Sri Lanka at Galle in March 2013 was a landmark achievement: it made him the first Bangladesh batter to score a double century in Test cricket. He reached the milestone while captaining Bangladesh, combining an individual record with a major moment in the national team’s development. ICC+1
Bangladesh made 638 in its first innings, taking a 68-run lead over Sri Lanka. The match ultimately ended in a draw, but Rahim’s achievement established a new benchmark for Bangladesh Test batting.

| Historical importance | First Test double century by a Bangladesh batter |
| Match result | Draw |
The importance of the innings went beyond the number of runs. Bangladesh was demonstrating its capacity to produce large first-innings totals and compete over extended periods against established Test sides.
The unbeaten 219 against Zimbabwe in 2018
Rahim raised his own benchmark in November 2018, scoring 219 not out against Zimbabwe at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. The innings surpassed Shakib Al Hasan’s previous Bangladesh Test record of 217 and established a new national high at the time. ACS Cricket Stats+1
It also made Rahim the first wicketkeeper to score two double centuries in Test cricket, according to contemporary reporting. His earlier 200 against Sri Lanka and the unbeaten 219 against Zimbabwe demonstrated his ability to construct long innings against different opponents. United News Bangladesh+1
219 not out: key facts
- Opposition: Zimbabwe
- Venue: Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur
- Year: 2018
- Score: 219 not out
- Significance: Bangladesh Test individual-score record at the time and his second Test double century
Rahim’s two double centuries remain among the defining statistical achievements of his career. Any claim that his 219 is still Bangladesh’s all-time highest Test score should be checked against the latest records before publication, because later players can surpass national records.

Mushfiqur Rahim’s ODI Career and the Famous 144 Against Sri Lanka
Rahim became an important middle-order batter in Bangladesh’s ODI side, often taking responsibility when early wickets fell. His most famous ODI innings came against Sri Lanka in the 2018 Asia Cup, when Bangladesh’s innings was in immediate danger of collapsing.
The ICC profile lists 274 ODI appearances, 7,795 runs and a highest score of 144. ICC+1
The 144 at the 2018 Asia Cup
On 15 September 2018, Bangladesh faced Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup opener in Dubai. The start was disastrous: Bangladesh lost two wickets for one run, and the score soon deteriorated further. Rahim responded with 144 from 150 balls, hitting 11 fours and four sixes. Mohammad Mithun contributed 63, and their batting helped Bangladesh recover to 261. Bangladesh then bowled Sri Lanka out for 124 to win by 137 runs. Rahim received the Player of the Match award. ICC+2
Match snapshot
| Detail | Result |

| Boundaries | 11 fours, 4 sixes |
| Bangladesh total | 261 |
| Sri Lanka total | 124 |
| Result | Bangladesh won by 137 runs |
| Award | Player of the Match |
The innings was a strong example of Rahim’s value under pressure. Rather than simply scoring quickly, he had to rebuild an innings after a cluster of early dismissals and then accelerate sufficiently to give Bangladesh a defendable total.
The 99 against Pakistan in the 2018 Asia Cup
Rahim also played a vital innings in the Asia Cup match against Pakistan on 26 September 2018. He scored 99 as Bangladesh recovered from 12 for three, sharing a 144-run fourth-wicket partnership with Mohammad Mithun. Bangladesh made 239, then restricted Pakistan to 202 for nine to win by 37 runs and reach the final. ICC
Although he missed a century by one run, the innings demonstrated the same quality seen in his 144 against Sri Lanka: the ability to stabilize a difficult innings and build a total that the bowlers could defend.
ODI statistics
See Mushfiqur Rahim's complete ODI stats
Rahim’s ODI career is best understood through both his aggregate production and the context of his defining innings. His 144 against Sri Lanka was not merely a personal best; it was an innings that directly shaped a major tournament victory.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s T20 International Career
Rahim also represented Bangladesh in T20 internationals. This format required a different balance of risk and control from the long innings that defined his Test career.
The ICC profile lists 102 T20I appearances, 1,500 runs and a highest score of 72. His T20 international career began in 2006, and his last T20I appearance in the cited profile was in September 2022. ICC+1
His T20I record is separate from his appearances in domestic and franchise T20 competitions. Runs scored in the Bangladesh Premier League or another domestic league should not be added to his international T20I totals.
View Mushfiqur Rahim's full T20I record
For the complete picture of his shorter-format cricket, the T20I record should be read alongside his ODI performances and domestic T20 career rather than used as a standalone measure of his contribution to Bangladesh cricket.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s Captaincy and Leadership of Bangladesh
The Bangladesh Cricket Board appointed Rahim as national captain in September 2011, with Mahmudullah named vice-captain. The appointment followed a change in the team’s leadership and gave the then 23-year-old a major responsibility early in his senior career. ICC+1
Rahim had previously captained Bangladesh at Under-19 level. His international appointment therefore extended an existing leadership role rather than introducing him to captaincy for the first time.
Captaincy and the 2013 Test breakthrough
The 2013 double century against Sri Lanka came while Rahim was leading Bangladesh. It was a defining personal achievement during his captaincy, but it also helped the team establish a new standard for its batting performance in Test cricket.
His leadership period coincided with a phase in which Bangladesh was seeking greater consistency in the longer format. Rahim’s role included balancing his own batting responsibilities with the demands of leading an international side.
Bangladesh’s 100th Test victory in 2017
Bangladesh marked its 100th Test with a historic four-wicket victory over Sri Lanka at the P. Sara Oval in Colombo on 19 March 2017. Rahim was unbeaten on 22 when the team completed the chase, with Mehedi Hasan scoring the winning runs. It was Bangladesh’s first Test victory over Sri Lanka and only its fourth overseas Test win at the time. ICC
The victory was a team achievement, not a result of Rahim’s batting alone. Tamim Iqbal scored 82 in the chase, while Shakib Al Hasan had made 116 in Bangladesh’s first innings. Rahim’s contribution was to help guide the team through the final stage of a historically important match.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s World Cup and Major Tournament Career
Rahim’s tournament career includes participation in major international events and important performances in Asia Cup competition. His most clearly documented defining tournament innings in the sources used here came during the 2018 Asia Cup, particularly his 144 against Sri Lanka and 99 against Pakistan. ICC+1
His role in a tournament can involve more than aggregate runs: wicketkeeping, partnerships, rebuilding after early wickets and helping set a defendable total can all affect the outcome of a match.
A full tournament-by-tournament statistical breakdown should be drawn from official scorecards and competition records. The available sources used for this biography do not justify assigning unverified World Cup totals, tournament rankings or awards to Rahim.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s Domestic and Franchise Cricket Career
Alongside international cricket, Rahim has represented a range of domestic and franchise sides. The teams listed in his cricket profiles include Duronto Rajshahi, Sylhet Royals, Sylhet Super Stars, Barisal Bulls, Rajshahi Kings, Khulna Tigers, Sylhet Strikers, Fortune Barishal and Rajshahi Warriors. He has also appeared for Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League. Cricbuzz+2
His domestic career should be distinguished from his international record. A player’s team list establishes associations, but it does not by itself establish the number of matches played for every team, the terms of each contract or the length of each stint.
Bangladesh Premier League career
The Bangladesh Premier League has been a significant part of Rahim’s domestic T20 career. His listed teams span several BPL franchises and seasons, illustrating how established Bangladesh internationals move between franchise sides as team rosters and competitions change.
For an accurate season-by-season account, the useful details are:
- The franchise represented in each season.
- Matches and innings actually played.
- Runs, average and strike rate.
- Highest score and important partnerships.
- Captaincy or other leadership duties, where documented.
- Team progression and final tournament result.
These details should be sourced from official BPL records or verified scorecards rather than inferred from a franchise’s squad announcement.
Pakistan Super League
Rahim’s career records include Karachi Kings, the PSL franchise he represented in 2016. The available records identify this participation, but they do not support a claim that the PSL became a long-term part of his playing career. Cricbuzz+2
Did Mushfiqur Rahim play in the IPL?
The cited Cricbuzz profile lists zero IPL appearances. On that evidence, he should not be described as an IPL player or assigned an IPL season record. Cricbuzz+1
A lack of IPL appearances does not mean a player has no franchise experience; Rahim’s domestic T20 record includes other competitions.

Mushfiqur Rahim’s Records and Career Milestones
Rahim’s records reflect his longevity and his contribution to Bangladesh’s development as an international cricket team. His strongest documented milestones include his Test double centuries, his ODI record innings and his early Test debut.
| Record or milestone | Achievement | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Young Test debut | 16 years, 267 days | Ninth-youngest Test debutant in the contemporary 2005 list |
| First Bangladesh Test double century | 200 vs Sri Lanka, 2013 | First Bangladesh batter to reach 200 in a Test |
| Test highest score | 219 not out vs Zimbabwe, 2018 | Bangladesh Test individual-score record at the time |
| Two Test double centuries | 200 and 219* | Reported as the first wicketkeeper to score two Test double centuries |
| ODI highest score | 144 vs Sri Lanka, 2018 | Match-winning Asia Cup innings |

Wicketkeeping and fielding contribution
Rahim’s career is not defined by batting alone. He has served as a wicketkeeper for Bangladesh and accumulated substantial numbers of catches and stumpings across international formats.
The ICC profile lists the following fielding figures:
| Format | Catches | Stumpings |
|---|---|---|
| Test | 115 | 15 |
| ODI | 243 | 56 |
| T20I | 42 | 30 |
These are the figures displayed in the cited ICC profile and should be checked against the latest official records before being reused in a live statistics database. ICC+1
Wicketkeeping requires concentration across an entire innings, including long periods when a player may not be directly involved in a dismissal. Combining this responsibility with middle-order batting makes Rahim’s sustained career particularly notable.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s Playing Style
Rahim is a right-handed wicketkeeper-batter whose most important role has often been to stabilize Bangladesh’s middle order. His major innings provide concrete examples of how he has performed in different match situations.
Three aspects stand out from his documented career:
- Building long innings: His Test double centuries against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe show his ability to occupy the crease for extended periods.
- Recovering from difficult starts: His 144 against Sri Lanka in the 2018 Asia Cup came after Bangladesh lost early wickets.
- Balancing batting with wicketkeeping: His international record includes substantial numbers of catches and stumpings, alongside his batting totals. United News Bangladesh+2
These performances support an assessment of Rahim as a batter capable of adapting to different situations. They do not, by themselves, establish a particular favourite shot, technical coaching influence or preferred batting position throughout every phase of his career.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s Awards and Recognition
Rahim has received recognition for his individual performances and his contribution to Bangladesh cricket.
ICC Men’s Player of the Month
The ICC profile lists two Men’s Player of the Month awards:
- May 2021: ICC Men’s Player of the Month.
- May 2026: ICC Men’s Player of the Month. ICC
The available profile establishes these awards, but a complete list of every domestic Player of the Match award, tournament honour and national recognition would require additional award records.
Recognition through landmark performances
His first Test double century, the 219 against Zimbabwe and the 144 against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup are among his best-documented achievements. These performances established individual milestones while contributing to important moments in Bangladesh cricket.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s Injuries, Setbacks and Selection Challenges
Rahim’s early career included periods when he was not selected for every Test series. Contemporary reporting from March 2006 discussed his return to the Bangladesh team after a nine-month gap between Test appearances. The selectors said his inclusion was based on team combination, rather than simply the fact that he came from Bogura. thedailystar.net
That episode is useful context for understanding his early career: a teenage debut did not guarantee an uninterrupted place in the side.
A complete injury chronology, including dates of surgery, rehabilitation and missed matches, could not be verified sufficiently from the sources used here. It would be inappropriate to attribute a specific absence to injury without a reliable report.
Likewise, a long career does not establish that every period outside a playing XI resulted from a disciplinary issue, injury or conflict with selectors. Those explanations need separate evidence.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s Salary, Contracts and Net Worth
Rahim’s long international career and domestic franchise appearances naturally generate searches about his earnings. However, the number of matches played is not sufficient to calculate a player’s personal wealth.
A dependable assessment would require documented central contracts, disclosed franchise fees, sponsorship announcements and reliable financial reporting. The sources cited for this biography do not establish a comprehensive current income figure or a verified net-worth estimate.
Net worth: No dependable, independently verified net-worth figure has been established from the sources used for this article.
Claims about his personal assets, property portfolio, business investments or sponsorship income should not be presented as facts without reliable evidence. Salary estimates copied between celebrity-biography websites are not a substitute for financial documentation.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s Current Team and Career Status
As of 29 October 2026, the ICC player profile lists Rahim’s career as extending into 2026. It records a Test appearance against Afghanistan on 9 October 2026, in which he scored 81. The same profile lists recent Test performances against Australia, Zimbabwe and Pakistan during 2026. ICC+1
Current-status snapshot
| Item | Latest information in the cited profile |
|---|---|
| International status | Career activity recorded in 2026 |
| Latest listed match | Test against Afghanistan |
| Latest listed match date | 9 October 2026 |
| Latest listed score | 81 |
| Opposition before Afghanistan | Australia, Zimbabwe and Pakistan in 2026 |
| Current domestic or franchise contract | Not established by the cited international profile |
The Afghanistan match is evidence of recent Test participation, but a recent appearance should not be treated as proof of a particular future selection or contract. His next team assignment should be checked against the latest Bangladesh Cricket Board squad announcements.
Mushfiqur Rahim’s Place in Bangladesh Cricket
Rahim’s career combines three important strands: early international exposure, sustained middle-order batting and wicketkeeping, and involvement in some of Bangladesh’s landmark Test achievements.
His 200 against Sri Lanka in 2013 established the country’s first Test double century. His unbeaten 219 against Zimbabwe in 2018 extended that achievement and set a national Test batting benchmark at the time. His 144 against Sri Lanka in the 2018 Asia Cup showed a different quality: the ability to rescue an ODI innings from a severe early collapse. United News Bangladesh+2
These are distinct achievements rather than repetitions of the same story. Together, they help explain why Rahim is an important figure in Bangladesh cricket history.
His continued presence in the 2026 Test records also demonstrates the length of his international career. His ultimate statistical standing will depend on the final record, but the milestones already documented make his contribution clear.
