Mominul Haque born 29 September 1991, also known as Muminul Showrav,.He is a Bangladeshi cricketer who is a former captain of the Bangladesh national team in Test matches.Mominul Haque is an exciting left-handed batsman and an useful left-arm spinner from Bangladesh, who arrived on the international scene with a bang. He comes from the coastal town of Bangladesh called Cox’s Bazaar, which is a popular tourist destination. Mominul joined BKSP, Bangladesh’s biggest sports institute, as a cricket student and made his First-Class debut in the 2008-09 season for Dhaka Division against Chittagong Division.
He made his Test debut for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka in Galle on March 8, 2013. He scored a half-century in his debut Test and ended up scoring 156 runs in three innings at an impressive average of 52 in his maiden Test series. He made his first century in a Test match against New Zealand in Chittagong off just 100 balls. In the second Test, Mominul, scored another century against the same opponent. He continued his great form against Sri Lanka, scoring a 50 in the first and a ton in the second game. However, he has not been as successful in the shorter formats and is yet to cement a permanent spot in the playing XI.
In November 2014, Mominul became the fastest Bangladeshi batsman to reach 1,000 Test runs, he took 21 innings to achieve that feat. Having made such a sensational start to red-ball cricket, he was expected to shine in the shorter formats as well due to his elegant strokeplay but it hasn’t quite happened that way. The 2015 World Cup was an opportunity for him to stake his claim but he ended up featuring in just the first two games and failures in both encounters saw him being dropped and hasn’t featured in white-ball cricket thereafter.
Mominul Haque captained the Bangladesh A side in 2015. He was appointed as the 11th captain of Bangladesh’s Test side in October 2019 when Shakib Al Hasan was banned from all forms of cricket for two years by the International Cricket Council after breaching the ICC’s Anti-Corruption code. Mominul’s first series as a Test captain was the two-match tour of India in November 2019. Bangladesh lost both matches by an innings inside three days.
Mominul is one of only six batsmen, and the only Bangladeshi, to score 11 or more consecutive scores of at least fifty in Test matches. He was the first Bangladeshi to score centuries in both innings of a Test match and the first Bangladeshi batsman to score 10 centuries in Test cricket.
