Mosaddek Hossain (born 10 December 1995 in Mymensingh, Bangladesh) is a cricketer who has played first-class and List A cricket in Bangladesh since 2013. In 2014-15 he made 250 and 282 in consecutive first-class innings.

Under-19 career

Hossain is a right-handed batsman and off-spin bowler. He played for Bangladesh in two ICC Under-19 World Cups: in Australia in 2012 and in Abu Dhabi in 2013-14. He captained Bangladesh Under-19 in a two-match series of four-day matches against Sri Lanka Under-19 in April 2013, scoring 107 in the first match and 74 in the second. He then captained the team again in a five-match series of limited-overs matches immediately afterwards, scoring more than 200 runs, including 98 in the third match which Bangladesh win by one wicket.[1] In England later that year, in a "superb all-round performance",[2] he scored 110 not out off 113 balls then took 3 for 38 off 10 overs in a 38-run victory over England Under-19.[3]

Senior career

At the age of 17 he made a century in his second List A match when he scored 100 for Abahani Limited against Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club in 2013-14. [4] He played one first-class match for Dhaka Division in 2013-14 and was selected to play for East Zone at the end of the season, when he took 3 for 65 and 4 for 33 against South Zone.[5] After the 2013-14 season Cricinfo named him as one of Bangladesh's most promising young players, noting that as a batsman he impressed "with his footwork against spin and ease against pace".[6]

He played for Barisal Division in the 2014-15 National Cricket League. Against Rangpur Division at Savar he scored 250 off 448 balls, adding 423 for the fifth wicket with Al-Amin.[7] His previous highest first-class score had been 13, and Al-Amin's was 64.[8] In his next innings a few days later on the neighbouring cricket ground, Hossain scored 282 off 309 balls.[9] Both matches were drawn.
