Born on 6th January 1992 in Zagreb, Rahman found his passion for the game in the urban parks of his hometown, developing both skills and a love for cricket that was nurtured at a local club level. His natural talent caught the eye of coaches, who were impressed by his innate ability to make the ball dance to his tunes, prompting a move to more competitive setups in neighbouring cricketing circles, eventually making waves in Europe's cricketing scene.
Rahman made his professional debut in the early 2010s, quickly establishing himself as a formidable bowler known for his versatile bowling skills. With a keen ear for adapting to match conditions, Rahman mastered the art of seam bowling, varying his pace and length to keep batsmen guessing.

He achieved significant milestones throughout his career, contributing crucially to his team's success in various European championships.
