'''Syed Rasel''' ({{langx|bn|সৈয়দ রাসেল}}) (born 3 July 1984) is a Bangladeshi former [[cricket]]er who represented his country in all formats of the game. He was a left-handed medium-fast swing bowler who came up through the ranks of the under-19s, to the [[Bangladesh A cricket team|Bangladesh A]] team, to the full [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]] team, while playing domestically for [[Khulna Division cricket team|Khulna Division]].

Playing for Bangladesh A against [[Kent County Cricket Club|Kent]] in August 2005, a 21-year-old Rasel took [[Bowling analysis|bowling figures]] of 7 for 50 in the first innings and finished the match with ten wickets.<ref name="cricinfo">{{cite web |title=Player Profile: Syed Rasel |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/syed-rasel-56160 |website=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=11 June 2024}}</ref>

==International career==
He was rewarded with a spot in the Bangladeshi squad for the tour of Sri Lanka the following month. He went on to make both his Test and ODI debuts on the tour, taking 4 for 129 in the second Test at Colombo.<ref name="cricinfo"/>

Back home at Bogra in February 2006, Rasel took 2 for 28 to give Bangladesh their first ever ODI win over Sri Lanka.<ref name="cricinfo"/>

Rasel's progress was halted when he damaged his foot in a motorbike accident but he recovered in time to take part in the 2006 Champions Trophy.<ref>{{citation |url=http://content.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/259846.html |title=Bangladesh hit by injuries |date=18 September 2006 |author=Cricinfo staff |publisher=Cricinfo.com |accessdate=8 March 2009}}</ref>

Despite not playing all but one game of their last ODI series before [[2007 Cricket World Cup]], he made the squad for the Caribbean. In the 3rd Test against Sri Lanka during the 2007 season he became the 700th Test victim of [[Muttiah Muralitharan]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Muralitharan's 700th wicket seals Sri Lanka win |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSSP21795/ |access-date=11 June 2024 |agency=Reuters |date=9 August 2007}}</ref>

At the start of November 2010, the BCB announced 16&nbsp;central contracts. Rasel was one of six players in the third tier (grade&nbsp;B).<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/story/484743.html |title=Ashraful handed top-level central contract |publisher=Cricinfo |date=1 November 2010 |accessdate=4 February 2011}}</ref> When the central contracts were next renewed, in April 2012, Rasel's contract was allowed to lapse.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/story/559489.html |title=Ashraful chopped from central contracts list |publisher=Cricinfo |date=1 April 2012 |accessdate=2 April 2012}}</ref>

In 2011, he signed for Halstead Cricket Club to play in the [[East Anglian Premier Cricket League]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Halstead Cricket Club sign international bowler |url=https://www.halsteadgazette.co.uk/sport/8989226.Halstead_Cricket_Club_sign_international_bowler/ |access-date=11 June 2024 |work=Halstead Gazette |date=22 April 2011}}</ref>
