10 greatest Bangladeshi cricketers of all time

#5. Mohammad Rafique

Before the Shakibs and the Mehedi Hasans took the cricket world by frenzy with their spin bowling, it was Mohammad Rafique who kept Bangladesh's spin bowling department ticking during their initial years in international cricket. A classical left-arm spinner, Rafique spearheaded Bangladesh's spin department for more than a decade.

However, he failed to convert his abilities and skills into statistics and ended with a bowling average of 40.76 in Tests and 37.91 in ODIs.His five-wicket haul against Zimbabwe in 2005 helped the sub-continent nation win their first Test and the spinner ended his career with 225 international wickets.
