 Profile

Wisden overview
Despite his cheerfully chubby exterior, Rahman, Bangladesh's first Test captain, is a tough enough competitor to have earned the nickname "Durjoy", meaning invincible. Standing only just over five foot tall, he floats the ball up insouciantly, like many a schoolboy offspinner, and turns it a good distance when it arrives. Sachin Tendulkar, a decent player of spin, was his third Test victim. Rahman tends to lose his loop in the one-day game, though it suits his bold batting, which was good enough to earn a slot in the top six. The kink in his bowling action has attracted the attention of ICC. He lost the national captaincy - and his place in the side - after the home defeat by Zimbabwe in November 2001. He became a member of the national selection panel in August 2007.Simon Briggs
