Rahatul Ferdous Javed

Rahatul Ferdous Javed is an experienced spin bowling all-rounder who has graced Bangladeshi domestic cricket for a decade.

During this period, he has played well over 130 matches across the three formats, where he has enjoyed plenty of success. To date, he has scored almost 2,000 runs and 200 wickets, with best performances of 106* and 7-75, both in first-class cricket.

A former Bangladesh age-group player, at his height (2016/17), he represented the Emerging Players and was on the verge of national consideration. Over the prior three years in first-class cricket, he had season tallies of 281 runs at 40.14 / 21 wickets at 27.66 (2014/15), 283 runs at 31.44 / 22 wickets at 41.81 (2015/16), and 230 runs at 23 / 20 wickets at 28.75 (2016/17).

Unfortunately, Javed’s numbers in red-ball cricket have tailed off since, nevertheless, he remains a key performer in white-ball cricket, where he has 91 wickets at 28.37, and 13 wickets at 16.30 in List A and T20, respectively.

Javed remains a top performer who also impressed during his maiden UK stint playing for Hetton Lyons in the North East Premier League in 2022 (438 runs and 27 wickets). He then backed up with further success last summer in the Yorkshire Premier League North for Fairburn (679 runs at 35.74 and 42 wickets at 20.36).

The all-rounder is now set for a Fairburn return in 2025 where he hopes to continue his success.
