Mushfiqur Rahim

‘Would have been better if Mushy said goodbye on the field’

Bangladesh great Abdur Razzak believes that it would have been better had Mushfiqur Rahim announced his retirement from T20Is during the Asia Cup instead of in the immediate aftermath.

A timely decision that resonates with fans

Mushfiqur Rahim’s announcement to retire from the T20 format for Bangladesh yesterday was welcomed by the Tigers’ fans as a timely one.

The two sides of Mushfiqur’s T20I coin

Nicknamed 'Mr. Dependable', Mushfiqur Rahim has undoubtedly lived up to the billing in Tests and ODIs for Bangladesh. However, the same can not be said of his T20 career as the 35-year-old has had a rather fluctuating one,spanning over 15 years and 102 matches, in the shortest format of the game. As the cricketer called time on his T20I career on Sunday, The Daily Star looks at two major highlights from his T20I career, depicting the ups and downs.

‘It’s heartbreaking’: Teammates react to Mushfiqur’s T20I retirement

Bangladesh cricketers flooded social media with messages and wishes for wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim, who announced his retirement from T20Is through a Facebook post on Sunday. 

Mushfiqur retires from T20Is

Bangladesh's veteran wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim has announced his retirement from T20 Internationals. The announcement came from his official Facebook page on Sunday noon.

Mushfiqur gears up for change

Bangladesh batsman Mushfiqur Rahim is known as ‘Mr. Dependable’ for his cool and collective approach to batting in the middle-order. It has been his ability to keep the scoring-rate ticking in the middle overs with soft hands and patient technique that has seen Bangladesh through on many challenging situations.

‘Shakib, Mushfiqur might open if needed’

As there are only two specialist openers in Bangladesh’s 17-member squad for the Asia Cup squad, the Tigers’ team management, according to Bangladesh team director Khaled Mahmud Sujon, may even opt for Mushfiqur Rahim or skipper Shakib Al Hasan in the opening slot in case of injuries and emergencies. 

Tigers lose three in quick succession

After a decent opening stand, Bangladesh lost three quick wickets to see themselves in a precarious situation in the third and final ODI against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club today. 

Injury pains leave BCB in a quandry

The Bangladesh Cricket Board's desire to reform and start afresh in the T20 format appears to have taken a backseat, with disaster management more of a concern ahead of this month's T20 Asia Cup as the national team's injury list continues to grow.
