Bangladesh wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim’s career has been all about improving from time to time. Rahim led the U19 team in the 2006 World Cup hosted on his home soil. The team also had future stalwarts Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, and Suhrawadi Shuvo.

It was forgettable time for both Rahim and Bangladesh. He could manage only 34 runs in six matches before Bangladesh was eliminated from the tournament. The interesting fact about Rahim is that he had made his Test debut a year before making his under-19 debut, at the age of 16 in 2005.

Rahim also led the national team in 37 ODIs and 24 Tests. Unfortunately, he did not enjoy much success during the stint and soon quit the role. Under his leader, Bangladesh could manage only 4 Test wins and 11 ODI wins.
