Full Name: Mohammad Saifuddin Date of Birth: November 1, 1996 Birthplace: Feni, Chattogram, Bangladesh Role: Right-Arm Fast-Medium Bowler | Left-Handed Batter | All-Rounder Wearing jersey number 74, Mohammad Saifuddin has emerged as one of Bangladesh’s most promising seam-bowling all-rounders in recent years. Known for his never-say-die attitude, lower-order hitting, and intelligent variations with the ball, Saifuddin has quietly become a valuable asset for the Tigers in white-ball cricket. Born in Feni, a district not widely known for producing international cricketers, Saifuddin had to work his way up through the age-group structure and domestic leagues with sheer determination. His journey through the Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP), the country’s premier sports institute, gave him the foundation and exposure he needed to build his skills and compete with the best. Saifuddin made his T20I debut in 2017 and followed it up with an ODI debut against South Africa the same year. Although his initial performances were inconsistent, his potential was evident. With a natural ability to generate bounce and seam movement, combined with clever slower deliveries, he quickly became a reliable option in the death overs. One of his most memorable performances came in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, where he was one of Bangladesh’s standout performers. He finished the tournament with 13 wickets in 7 matches, bowling with maturity beyond his years and also contributing crucial runs down the order. His gritty 51 against India* during a tense chase at Edgbaston won hearts—it wasn’t just the runs, but the fight he showed when hope was fading. With the bat, Saifuddin brings much-needed depth to the lower order. His left-handed strokes are clean, confident, and fearless. He’s often walked in under pressure and swung momentum back with quick runs—especially in T20 cricket where his late-order hitting makes him a natural finisher. What sets Saifuddin apart, however, is his cricketing intelligence. Despite not being express pace, he relies on clever changes of pace, accurate yorkers, and a cool temperament to outfox batters, especially in tight death-over scenarios. His role has become even more significant with Bangladesh aiming to build a balanced side in limited-overs formats. Off the field, Saifuddin is soft-spoken and grounded. He comes across as disciplined and hardworking, with a genuine love for the game and for representing his country. His humility and quiet demeanor contrast with the boldness he shows on the field—whether it's defending a final over or launching sixes under pressure. Unfortunately, injuries have been a recurring obstacle in his career. Back problems and recurring niggles have kept him out of the squad for extended periods, particularly after the 2021 T20 World Cup. Yet each time, Saifuddin has returned stronger, never losing sight of his place in the team and the role he can play. With jersey number 74, Mohammad Saifuddin remains a workhorse, a fighter, and an underrated pillar of Bangladesh’s white-ball setup. His journey is still unfolding, and for Bangladesh fans, he represents the kind of player every team needs—versatile, reliable, and full of heart.
