Full Name: Mosaddek Hossain Saikat Date of Birth: December 10, 1995 Birthplace: Mymensingh, Bangladesh Role: Right-Handed Batter | Right-Arm Offbreak Bowler | Middle-Order All-Rounder Wearing jersey number 32, Mosaddek Hossain may not always be the headline-maker, but he has quietly carved a niche for himself in Bangladesh cricket—through grit, game sense, and an uncanny ability to deliver when it matters most. He is the kind of player every team needs: dependable, unselfish, and composed under pressure. Born in Mymensingh, a town not particularly known for producing international cricketers, Mosaddek’s journey is one of determination and quiet perseverance. From early on, he was known for his mature temperament and silky timing with the bat. While his peers looked to dominate, Mosaddek stood out for his calculated approach, calm presence, and clever shot selection. He broke into the domestic circuit at a young age and quickly made a name for himself with remarkable consistency. In 2014, during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), Mosaddek displayed glimpses of his all-round potential, catching the attention of selectors. But it was his domestic record—where he piled up runs with hunger and poise—that earned him a call-up to the national side. Mosaddek made his ODI debut in 2016 and was soon playing T20Is and Tests, showcasing a versatile game across formats. One of his early standout moments came in the 2017 Champions Trophy semifinal against India, where he picked up 3 wickets with his off-spin, including that of Virat Kohli, and reminded fans of his bowling value. Yet, it is his cool-headed batting that has often won games from tight situations. One of his most unforgettable performances came in 2022 against Afghanistan, where he smashed a 20-ball 48 in a high-pressure T20 chase, guiding Bangladesh to victory. It wasn't just about the big shots—it was about timing, composure, and reading the game better than the opposition. Mosaddek’s versatility has made him an asset in the middle order. He can float up or down the lineup, rotate strike, finish games, or anchor when the top order collapses. Add to that his tidy off-spin—especially effective in subcontinent conditions—and he becomes a true three-dimensional cricketer. Off the field, Mosaddek is a calm presence. He is known for his discipline, his humility, and for being a team-first player. Despite facing periods out of the national side due to competition and selection dynamics, he has always fought back through consistent performances in domestic cricket and the BPL, where he has captained teams with success and poise. In a team full of rising stars and powerful personalities, Mosaddek Hossain remains the quiet craftsman—always ready to deliver, whether with bat or ball. With jersey number 32, he may not seek the spotlight, but more often than not, he’s the one holding things together when it matters most. For Bangladesh, he’s more than a utility player—he’s a calm anchor in a storm, a finisher when hope flickers, and a reminder that cricket is also a game of intellect, temperament, and heart.
