Mohammad Mushfiqur Rahim (not to be confused with Mushfiqur Rahman) (Bengali: েমাহাম্মদ মুশিফকুর রিহম) (born September 1, 1988), in Bogra, is a cricket player from Bangladesh.
He was a wildcard inclusion for Bangladesh's maiden tour of England in 2005, Mushfiqur Rahim was just 16 years old when he was selected for their daunting two-Test, six one-day international tour, having not even been named in the preliminary squad of 20. Principally selected as an understudy to the team's ever-present wicketkeeper, Khaled Mashud, Rahim's inclusion was further evidence of Bangladesh's determination to build for a better future. He had enjoyed some success on the Under-19 tour of England in 2004, scoring 88 in the second Test at Taunton, and he showed more evidence of his gritty talents the following season, with a maiden first-class half-century to soften the pain of defeat against Sussex, followed by a career-best 115 against Northants, as was the case with Tatenda Taibu, the Zimbabwe keeper-turned-captain who toured England in 2000. During the 2006 U-19 Cricket World Cup, Rahim captained the Bangladesh side, which reached the quarter finals.
He scored his maiden half-century at Harare against Zimbabwe and was picked as the first-choice wicketkeeper ahead of Mashud for the World Cup in the West Indies.
Mushfiqur Rahim despite his size is one of the most boisterous people on the field and although he is not the captain is known to tell his fellow cricketers where to go. Sometimes he can be the only one heard on the field as he did in a world cup match against The West Indies, when he was very noisy and encouaraging for the whole West Indian innings.
