Commenting on Rahim’s performance in May, VVS Laxman representing the ICC Voting Academy added: “Even after 15 years at the very best level, Mushfiqur has not lost his appetite for run-making. He was at his imperious best within the one-day series reception against Sri Lanka , an image of consistency with the highlight being 125 within the second match which helped his side secure a winning 2-0 lead within the three-match series.”
“What made his feat even more notable was that it had been Bangladesh’s first-ever ODI series triumph against the 1996 World Cup champions. To prop up the center order and don the wicket-keeping gloves speaks volumes of his fitness and skills,” he added.
