Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Mehidy Hasan Miraz is a phenomenal, fiercely competitive right-handed batter and right-arm off-break bowler who stands entirely unrivaled as the definitive, heartbeat all-rounder and tactical general anchoring the modern era of Bangladesh white-ball cricket. Born on October 25, 1997, in Khulna, Miraz exploded onto the global stage as a sensational teenager, captaining the Under-19 squad before capturing worldwide headlines in his debut senior Test series by dismantling England with a historic, record-shattering 19-wicket haul. Operating with an exceptionally sharp cricketing brain, an immaculate off-spinning blueprint, and a highly technical, high-intent batting range, he seamlessly transitioned from a specialist lower-order bowling option into an elite, three-dimensional enforcer and absolute gold standard of the national setup.

As Bangladesh’s permanent One Day International (ODI) captain, Miraz’s inspiring, fighting spirit and natural leadership acumen have completely redefined the team's modern blueprint. He joins an elite, legendary bracket of national icons to achieve the historic double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in the ODI format, while consistently holding a premier top-5 status in the ICC global all-rounder rankings. A relentless big-match enforcer who actively craves high-stakes tournament pressure—immortalized by his stunning, match-winning maiden ODI century against India from number eight—he leads a highly clinical, settled unit into a blockbuster home series against world champions Australia in June 2026. Backed by an unshakeable competitive edge and immense tactical maturity, Miraz remains the vital structural engine and ultimate vanguard driving Bangladesh's pursuit of global white-ball dominance on the road to the 2027 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.
