Ziaul Islam

Ziaul Islam Masud (October 1952 in Pabna – July 2014 in Dhaka) was a Bangladeshi ICC Trophy cricketer. A tall right-arm fast bowler, he represented Bangladesh in the 1979 ICC Trophy in England. During the late 1970s and early 1980s he enjoyed the reputation of being the fastest bowler in Bangladesh and the 1st International wicket taker for Bangladesh. "In spite of his aggressive fast bowling, this calm and collected individual was a cricketer par excellence, a magnificent and honorable representative of the sport and a gentleman of high class" [said by Yousuf Rahman (Babu)]

Masud led the new ball attack for Bangladesh in the 1st ICC trophy. There he took 5 wickets for 102 runs. In the 1st match against Fiji, he took 2/17; there he dismissed the Fiji openers. This was his best bowling in the tournament. Provided by Wikipedia
