Bangladesh Cricket Board’s Twitter handle is one of the slowest while putting up the latest activities of Bangladesh Cricket. However, this time they have come in the news for their weird tweet regarding the Late Manzarul Islam Rana.
On May 4 (Tuesday), the BCB took to Twitter and wished him on his 37th birthday. He had made his debut as a 19-year-old way back in 2003. He came into the limelight after dismissing the then England captain Michael Vaughan off his third delivery. With this, he became the first Bangladeshi player to claim a wicket in his first international over itself.
Soon after, the young all-rounder made his debut in the longer format against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. However, in March 2007, Manzarul Islam Rana lost his life at the very young age of 22 years and 316 days after facing a road accident.

One of the Greatest Tiger we ever had. #BCB #HBDManjuralIslamRana,” BCB wrote.
