He was known for his speed, often bowling around 145 kilometers per hour during the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
Overcoming Challenges
During the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy in England, Rubel had an accident at the team hotel. He accidentally bumped into a glass door and fractured his jaw. He had to go back to Dhaka for surgery and was out of play for about six weeks. After recovering, Rubel worked hard to get back into shape and rejoined the national team.
Later Career and Retirement
In April 2018, Rubel Hossain was one of ten cricketers to receive a central contract from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). This showed he was a key player for the team. In April 2019, he was part of Bangladesh's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
