Playing style

edit

"Mustafizur has a God-gifted slow ball."

— Ashish Nehra[88]

Mustafizur achieved success in the beginning of his international career by bowling off cutters, a type of bowling which moves away (from the right-hander) off of the pitch.[23][89] Mustafizur stated on a press conference in June 2015 that he first discovered the technique after his fellow cricketer, Anamul Haque insisted him to bowl a slower delivery.[15][16] According to former Indian cricketer Maninder Singh, his slower balls are difficult to read.[90]

Personal life

edit

Mustafizur grew up in the small town of Satkhira in Khulna, Bangladesh.[19] He is the youngest of Abul Qasem Gazi and Mahmuda Khatun's six children.[91] His father is an enthusiastic fan of cricket.[15] Mustafizur's interest in cricket rose when he started practicing the game 40 kilometres (25 mi)

away from home every morning, with his brother Mokhlesur Rahman. This affected his education as he occasionally missed school to play cricket.[91]

Prior to discovering his bowling talents, Mustafizur played as a batsman with a tennis ball.[16] According to him, he took inspiration from Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir who is his idol.[92]

On 15 March 2019, along with several members of the Bangladesh test team, he was moments from entering the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, when a terrorist attack began. All members of the team were "deeply affected".[93] Mustafizur went on to get married on 22 March. Mustafizur's brother was hopeful that marriage could help him "overcome the shock" of witnessing the attack in New Zealand.[94]
