From his early years on the dusty pitches of Chittagong to international arenas, Asif's journey is nothing short of inspiring.

As a youngster, Asif was captivated by the allure of cricket. His mastery over the ball developed on makeshift grounds, where he often practised with friends and aspired to emulate the greats. The local clubs soon noticed his flair for spinning the ball, and by his late teens, he was representing regional teams, quickly making a name for himself as a promising talent. His knack for tight lines and deceptive flight soon propelled him into the professional circuit.

Asif's professional debut came in 2012, a match that saw him come face-to-face with seasoned batsmen. He more than held his own, proving that his transition from domestic cricket was seamless.

Among Asif's notable encounters was a gripping battle against India in 2017, showcasing his uncanny ability to maintain composure under pressure. His rematch against India's top-order batsmen was legendary, as he dismantled the line-up on a spinning track, ending the day with astounding figures of 6 for 45.

Asif's bowling is characterised by his smooth, beguiling arm action, which often lures batsmen into a false sense of security. His ability to turn the ball sharply, combined with an astute sense of field placements, makes him a formidable opponent.

A highlight of his career includes being part of the Bangladeshi squad that reached the Asia Cup final in 2016. His contribution was crucial in their semi-final triumph over Sri Lanka, where he clinched four wickets with impeccable economy.
