Анисур Рахман: Бангладештік крикетші және төрешінің өмірі мен мансабы

Bangladeshi cricketer and umpire

Anisur Rahman (; born 1 March 1971) is a Bangladeshi cricket umpire and former cricketer who played in two ODIs from 1995 to 1998. He has stood as an umpire in nine ODI games between 2014 and 2018, and in 13 Twenty20 Internationals between 2012 and 2018.

The tall left armer was successful with the ball in the U 19 Asia cup in 1989. There he took 3/44 against India, and 3/36 against Pakistan. He was elevated him to the national squad. There, however, he struggled to hold his place, as Bangladesh already had two other left arm seamers, Gholam Nousher and Jahangir Alam Talukdar. Anisur Rahman's career was also hampered by injuries and No Ball problem. Still, he briefly emerged in 1994, following the retirement of Prince and Dulu, as the country's top pace bowler.

In the 1994–95 SAARC Quadrangular Tournament at Dhaka, (December 1994), he took 3/29 against Pakistan A, 4/29 against Sri Lanka A, & 3/28 against India A. In these matches, he used the reverse swing of the old ball with great effect. In fact, Anisur Rahman was one of the first Bangladeshi bowler to successfully use the reverse swing. He played in 2 ODIs against India, but failed to impress. On each occasion, he suffered at the hands of Sachin Tendulkar.

After the group match between Afghanistan and India in 2018 Asia Cup, he did not officiate any matches and quit his umpiring profession for uncertainty of career under Bangladesh Cricket Board and settled in USA in order to pursue a better career in other profession.
