He is an occasional right-arm medium pace bowler, but he only bowls very occasionally as a part-time bowler. In all him bowling are limited with only a few overs bowled and wickets taken. More than his bowling, teams have turned to him for some of his smart glovework behind the stumps and reliable batting. Mushfiqur’s bowling figures are unremarkable and are also not a huge part of his cricketing persona. His worth is more as leader and batman supporting the wicketkeeper than as bowler.
