Mohammad Saifuddin

Mohammad Saifuddin is a versatile bowling all-rounder who has re-established himself as a vital asset for the Bangladesh national team. A right-arm fast-medium bowler and left-handed batter, he first gained prominence during the 2016 Under-19 World Cup before making his senior debut in 2017. Known for his ability to execute pinpoint yorkers and slower bouncers at the death, he has become a dependable wicket-taker for the 'Tigers.' As of early 2026, he has claimed over 50 T20I wickets with an impressive career best of 4/33 against Afghanistan, while his ODI record features over 40 wickets and two half-centuries, including a defiant 51 against India*.

Following a period of injury management, Saifuddin’s resurgence in late 2025 was highlighted by a disciplined performance against Ireland and strong domestic outings for the Dhaka Capitals in the Bangladesh Premier League. His consistent form earned him a recall to the national side for the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, where he is one of five specialist pacers in the squad. Currently ranked in the top 120 of the ICC T20I bowling rankings, his dual-threat capability offers Bangladesh critical balance in the middle and lower order. As the team prepares for their World Cup campaign beginning in February 2026, Saifuddin’s experience and specialized death-bowling skills make him a key figure in their pursuit of global success.
