Qazi Abul Hussen

Qazi Abul Hussen, born on the first day of the new millennium, has emerged as a prominent figure in international cricket, showcasing a blend of talent and perseverance. Raised in the bustling neighbourhoods of Dhaka, he discovered cricket in the narrow lanes, where makeshift bats and unyielding passion fuelled his early aspirations. Those confined spaces demanded adaptability, a trait that would go on to define his cricketing style.

Hussen's journey from street cricket to the professional arena wasn't devoid of challenges. At the age of 16, his remarkable all-round abilities caught the attention of local scouts, earning him a place in the national under-19 team. By 18, he was already leaving his mark in domestic cricket with his adaptable batting approach and versatile bowling skills. His all-round performances in the domestic circuit, particularly in the Dhaka Premier League, paved the way for his international debut at the age of 21.

Qazi’s debut series against Sri Lanka was nothing short of sensational. In his very first match, he claimed a five-wicket haul and contributed a match-winning 60 runs, solidifying his position in the team. Known for his ability to adapt his batting to any situation, he heroically anchored the innings in tense chases while his medium-fast bowling posed significant challenges for opposing batsmen. His unique capability to seamlessly switch between aggressive and defensive batting made him a crowd favourite.

Among his notable achievements is his pivotal role in Bangladesh's historic ODI series victory against England in 2022. His all-round brilliance—scoring 85 not-out in a crucial run chase and taking key wickets—was instrumental in tilting the series in favour of Bangladesh. Another memorable encounter was his spirited rivalry with Indian all-rounder Ravi Singh, which became a highlight of the Asian Cup; their on-field battles were the stuff of legends, often swaying the results of tightly contested matches.

Off the field, Qazi Abul Hussen is seen as an ambassador for the sport, inspiring a new generation of cricketers. His career is dotted with significant moments, but it’s the blend of flair and tenacity—reflected in his batting versatility and effective bowling—that marks his enduring impact on the game. As he continues to break records and achieve new heights, Qazi remains a testament to the notion that talent, when coupled with relentless hard work, knows no bounds.
