He is the former Jatiya Sangsad member from the Manikganj-1 constituency representing the Bangladesh Awami League party.[1][2]
Durjoy served as the first captain of Bangladesh national cricket team. At international level, he played 8 Test and 29 ODI matches for the team.
Cricket career
A right arm off spinner, Durjoy was a member of Bangladesh's 1997 ICC Trophy winning side. He became his country's inaugural Test captain when he led Bangladesh on their Test debut, against India in 2000. Durjoy took 6 wickets for 132 runs in India's first innings, including the wickets of legendary cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly.[3] However, a loss of form saw him lose the captaincy the following year and also his spot in the side.
After his retirement in 2002, Durjoy became the president of the Cricketers' Welfare Association of Bangladesh.[4]
Political career
On 26 November 2023, Awami League announced the final list of its 298 candidates to contest the 2024 national election which did not include Durjoy.[5]
On 3 September 2024, almost a month after the fall of the Awami League government,[6] Bangladesh Anti-Corruption Commission decided to launch an investigation into corruption allegations against Durjoy accusing him of money laundering, irregularities in projects, and illegally amassing wealth.[7] The day after, on 4 September, he resigned from the board of the directors of Bangladesh Cricket Board.[8] He was detained on 2 July 2025 by the Detective Branch and Manikganj District police.[9]
Personal life
Durjoy is married to Farhana Rahman Happy.[10][11]
