This all-round capability made him a strategic player, difficult for opponents to counter.

Significant landmarks in Hafizul’s career include leading his team to victory in several regional tournaments, where he consistently scored high and withstood pressure situations that tested not only his technique but his nerve. Matches against neighbouring countries developed into fierce rivalries, defining Hafizul as a formidable opponent hungry to challenge the sport’s status quo in Europe.

One unforgettable highlight was his first international century—a richly deserved milestone that not only showcased his talent but lifted the spirits of emerging cricketers in Estonia. Hafizul Islam, through sheer persistence and skill, has become more than a cricketer; he’s an emblem of the sport's potential in unlikely places, inspiring the next generation to look beyond conventional sports and embrace the gentleman’s game with vigour.
