The Shere Bangla National Stadium buzzed with anticipation as Bangladesh’s Mushfiqur Rahim geared up to play his 100th Test. The morning atmosphere was filled with hope for an exceptional day of cricket, a contrast to the usual tensions that often overshadow the sport in the region. As the day progressed, Mushfiqur found himself on the cusp of a significant milestone.
Mushfiqur Celebrates 100th Test with Speeches and Honors
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) organized a brief but memorable felicitation ceremony for Mushfiqur Rahim. During this ten-minute event, his first captain, Habibul Bashar, presented him with a brand new cap, while his debut Test teammates stood behind him wearing black and grey T-shirts. Mushfiqur’s family was present, adding a personal touch to the occasion. After current captain Najmul Hossain Shanto delivered remarks, Mushfiqur made a short speech of appreciation.
Anticipation Builds
As the match unfolded, Mushfiqur was still waiting to complete his journey to 100 runs, ending the day on 99 not out.

Mominul Haque, a seasoned teammate of Mushfiqur, expressed confidence in his friend’s abilities despite the pressure of achieving a century. “He is calm and composed. There’s no need for concern,” Mominul mentioned, underscoring Mushfiqur’s extensive experience in the sport. His disciplined lifestyle is a testament to his two-decade-long career in international cricket.
Embracing the Milestone
The day was not just significant for Mushfiqur but also for Bangladesh cricket as a whole. The BCB’s decision to honor his accomplishment resonated with players and fans alike.
