Mukhtar Hussain is an exciting quick bowler who has excelled for Assam across the three domestic formats.

A tall bowler who regularly hits 140kph, Hussain’s journey started for Assam at age-group level, starring in the various state tournaments.

His exploits for the Under-19s at the Cooch Behar Trophy (Nov 2017-Jan 2018), where he topped the states' wicket-charts (35 wickets at 17.88) paved the way to a Vijay Hazare Trophy debut in February 2018. Since then, he hasn’t looked back, bagging poles across all formats.

Hussain enjoyed a remarkable debut Ranji Trophy season (2018/19), taking 40 wickets at 24.15. He kicked off the campaign with successful 5-wicket hauls, namely 5-77 v Jharkhand, then 5-73 (and 4-44) v Tripura. A few games later he bagged his third 5-wicket haul, figures of 5-39 v Jammu and Kashmir.

Roll on the 2019/20 season, and Hussain continued to shine, taking career-best figures against Uttarakhand (6-15 from 12 overs) amongst 24 wickets at 29.08.

Unfortunately for the flying Hussain COVID struck and the 2020/21 season saw no Ranji Trophy cricket. Nevertheless, he continued to take poles in white-ball cricket, particularly in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (6 wickets at 18.83).

Last summer (2021/22) saw the return of red-ball cricket and Hussain continued to impress bagging 11 wickets at 23.72, following a strong Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (T20) campaign with 8 wickets at 15.62 all with an economy of 7.81. Surprisingly, he suffered a dip in form in 2022/23, taking 13 wickets at 54.76 but despite these numbers was still rewarded with East Zone selection for the Deodhar Trophy (July 2023).

Hussain is a fantastic talent who was all set to play UK club cricket last summer before his State scuppered the opportunity, so is now eager to secure a UK club for the 2024 season.
