Rubel's Early Cricket Journey
Rubel Hossain started his first-class cricket career in 2007. He played for the Chittagong Division. After showing good skills in the National Cricket League, he was chosen for the Bangladesh Under-19 team. Soon after, he also played for the Bangladesh A team.
Playing in the Bangladesh Premier League
In 2012, the Bangladesh Cricket Board started a new tournament called the Bangladesh Premier League. It was a fast-paced Twenty20 competition. Teams bought players in an auction. Rubel was bought by the Sylhet Royals for $70,000.
He later played for other teams in the league.
- In 2018, he joined the Dhaka Dynamites.
- In 2019, he was chosen to play for the Chattogram Challengers.
Rubel even created a new way of bowling a ball, which he called the 'Butterfly' delivery.
Rubel's International Cricket Career
Rubel Hossain joined the One Day International (ODI) team in 2009. His first big game was in a series with Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Bangladesh needed to win this game to reach the final. Rubel bowled really well, taking 4 wickets in a short time. This helped Bangladesh win and move to the final.
He continued to play well in other matches. This led to him being picked for the Test cricket team. He made his Test debut against the West Indies. In that game, he took three wickets and also helped his team score some important runs. Rubel also played in two Twenty20 matches at the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 tournament.
Amazing Bowling Moments
One of Rubel's best performances was in an ODI against New Zealand. He took six wickets for only 26 runs. In that same game, he also achieved a hat-trick! This means he took three wickets in three balls. His performance was so good that ESPNcricinfo nominated it as one of the best ODI bowling performances of 2013.
During the 2015 Cricket World Cup, Rubel consistently bowled very fast. His deliveries were often around 145 kilometers per hour.
Later Career Highlights
In April 2018, Rubel was one of ten cricketers to get a special contract from the Bangladesh Cricket Board. This showed how important he was to the team. In April 2019, he was chosen for Bangladesh's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
In September 2021, he was named as a reserve player for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Later, on October 26, 2021, he joined the main squad. This happened after another player, Mohammad Saifuddin, had to leave due to an injury.
