Mustafizur Rahman, the premier Bangladesh fast bowler, was in no mood to mince words. After a few reporters asked him to speak in English, Mustafizur Rahman came back with a smashing response.

How did the incident unfold?

Mustaafizur Rahman was speaking to a bunch of reporters after a practice session for Prime Bank, his Dhaka Premier League team. The incident unfolded at the BCB Academy Ground.

While Rahman was speaking in his mother tongue bengali, he was asked if he would like to learn english. Understandably, the question was put up by a reporter, so that it becomes convenient for them to communicate with the star pacer.

But Rahman came up with a befitting response.

“I would like to stay the way I always have been. I don’t know what other players do. I like this. I love speaking in Bangla; my mother taught me this,” Mustafizur Rahman said.

The fact that he mentioned, his mother taught him the language, showed how humble of a person Rahman is!

Mustafizur Rahman’s contribution for Bangladesh

Mustafizur Rahman made his debut for Bangladesh in 2015. And he left a mark for the national team with his brilliant batting prowess very early in the game.

He has so far featured in 13 Tests, 58 ODIs and 41 T20Is for Bangladesh as has been a key for the side across formats. His full-length deliveries and knack to swing the ball in to right-handers and away from the left-handers makes him a lethal weapon to have in the side.

Rahman has also shouldered the burden of being the new ball bowler for Bangladesh quite and well. At 24, there is plenty of scope for improvement for him.
