Mohammed Rafique (Bengali: মোহাম্মদ রফিক ) (born 5 September 1970) is a Bangladeshi cricket coach and former cricketer, who played all formats of the cricket. He is the first consistent cricketer of his national cricket team. He occasionally served his team with bat as well. When Bangladesh team needed quick runs, he was sent as an opener. He is the first Man Of the Match for Bangladesh in One Day Internationals for his match winning 77 runs as opener and for taking 3/56 with Ball. One of the best spinners to ever have played for Bangladesh, Rafique was the first Bangladesh bowler to take 100 wickets in Test matches. Rafique has also been honored for his contribution to the cricket world with squad places in both the World XI for the Super Series against Australia in 2005, and the Asia XI for the exhibition series against Africa XI in 2007.

Rafique is also known as a handy, hard-hitting lower-order batsman. His 77 versus Kenya in May 1998 at Hyderabad was instrumental in Bangladesh’s first ever ODI win against Kenya. With the ball, he took 3/56, and was adjudged the man of the match. He also scored a Test century against the West Indies in Bangladesh’s drawn Test. Also he scored 65 against Australia in 2005–6, including six sixes.

He was instrumental in steering Bangladesh to a series whitewash against the Kenyans, and recorded his best match figures in Tests against Australia in a match they only narrowly lost. Rafique had a successful 2007 World Cup, taking eight wickets and helping Bangladesh to win games against India and South Africa.

Rafique announced his international retirement on 7 February 2008. Bangladesh’s home series against South Africa was his last for the national team. He became the first Bangladeshi to ever take the milestone of 100 test wickets by having Robin Peterson caught at first slip by Junaid Siddique on 1 March during the second test. Out of 53 players who have scored 1,000 runs and taken 100 wickets in Test cricket, Rafique was the first to have represented Bangladesh.
