Mustafizur Rahman has been the backbone of Bangladesh's bowling attack since his arrival into the international scene. He has made the oppositions struggle with his inswingers, outswingers, off-cutters and yorkers.

He made his ODI debut against India in 2015 and grabbed the eyeballs when he picked two five-wicket hauls in his first two games. He became the only second bowler to achieve this feat.

The left arm pacer from Bangladesh has been in great touch in the shorter formats, especially in the ODIs. He ended up the Asia Cup 2018 with 10 wickets from just 5 games. Later, he picked up 2 and 5 wickets against Zimbabwe and West Indies respectively.

In 2018, he picked up 29 wickets from 18 matches at an amazing average of 20.51 at an economy of less than 5 and a strike rate of 31. He is expected to continue his good form in England this summer.
