Faruque Ahmed (Template:Langx) born in Dhaka[1] is a former cricketer and former president of Bangladesh Cricket Board.[2][3] He represented Bangladesh national cricket team from 1988 to 1999.[4]

In ODIs

He made his ODI debut at Chittagong in 1988, against Pakistan . His highest one day score was 57 against India at Chandigarh in 1990. There he put on 108 for the 3rd wicket with Athar Ali Khan.[5]

In ICC Trophy

Ahmed also played in two ICC Trophy tournaments, in 1990 and 1994. He scored 56 against Canada in 1990. There he shared a match winning partnership of 121 with MOM Nurul Abedin (105).[6] Overall, he scored 69 runs in 3 innings (Avg. 23.00). 4 years later, leading the side, he had a disappointing time with the bat in Kenya. He scored 114 runs at an average of 19.00.[7]

Career

As a captain

In the domestic circuit, Ahmed proved himself as a successful captain very early in his career. This prompted the national selectors to make him the Bangladesh captain for the 1993–94 season. This however, didn't turn out to be a very good decision. Specially, in the 1994 ICC Trophy in Kenya, dissatisfaction among senior players combined with injury to key players meant that Bangladesh failed to reach the Semis despite being one of the pre-tournament favorites.[8]

After the 94 ICC Trophy, not only did Ahmed lose his captaincy, he also lost his place in the side. Nevertheless, he showed great courage to win back his place in the side as a top order batsman. He was one of the members of the Bangladesh side in the 1999 WC in England. He, however, failed to impress there, and retired afterward.[4]

As cricket administrator

After retirement from cricket as a player, he has continued to serve Bangladesh cricket as an administrator. He has served as a national selector.[9] On 21 August 2024, he has been appointed as the president of Bangladesh Cricket Board.[10][11]
