Mosaddek Hossain

Mosaddek Hossain is a highly skilled, tactically intelligent right-handed middle-order batter and right-arm off-break bowler who stands out as one of the most clutch, multi-dimensional all-round assets in modern Bangladeshi white-ball cricket. Born on December 30, 1995, in Mymensingh, Mosaddek emerged as an elite junior prodigy, rewriting the history books by becoming the first Bangladeshi player to score three first-class double-centuries before the age of 20. Making his international breakthrough in 2016, he quickly earned a reputation as a street-smart, calm finisher and a definitive big-match enforcer. His ability to absorb high-stakes tournament pressure is permanently etched in Bangladesh’s cricket folklore, highlighted by his breathtaking, match-winning 24-ball 52 against the West Indies in the 2019 Tri-Nation Series final, which secured the Tigers their historic, first-ever multi-team tournament trophy on the global stage.

After spending nearly four years away from the international frame, Mosaddek has forced open the doors to the national setup through an absolute masterclass of unyielding domestic dominance. Turning out for Abahani Limited in the Dhaka Premier League, he completely dismantled opposition attacks by plundering 310 runs in just six innings at a stunning average of 77.50 and a blazing 129.17 strike rate, while simultaneously proving his elite dual-threat engine by snaring 12 crucial wickets. This relentless form earned him a thoroughly deserved, headline-making recall to Mehidy Hasan Miraz's national squad for the high-octane June 2026 bilateral One Day International (ODI) series against Australia in Dhaka. Explicitly tasked by the team management to spearhead the critical number six or seven slot as a high-impact finisher and a deceptive 5-to-6 over bowling utility, Mosaddek enters the series as a lethal frontline weapon. Ready to neutralize world-class pace and spin alike, his immense big-match temperament and tactical adaptability serve as the vital structural engine driving his ultimate dream toward anchoring the Tigers' road to the 2027 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.
