Early Life: A Cricket Career Built in Secret
Miraz grew up in Khalishpur, Khulna, coming from a family with modest means. His father, Md Jalal Hossain, worked as an autorickshaw driver and at first he was not really supportive, saying cricket will not lead to anything stable, and he wanted a more conventional road instead.
Yet it was his mother, Minara Begum, who backed him in a lowkey way, letting him train without his father finding out, until his talent became too obvious to ignore. He started playing at age eight, then got noticed by former Bangladesh international Sheikh Salahuddin at the Kashipur Cricket Academy, and after that he climbed up through the age-group system from there, gradually , piece by piece.
His breakthrough came a bit early too: he captained Bangladesh Under-19 at the 2016 World Cup, made 242 runs and also took 12 wickets across six matches, and he was named Player of the Tournament. That award made him the only Bangladeshi to win that kind of recognition at an ICC event, which was kinda wild, if you think about it.

His ODI debut came next in March 2017, and then a month after that he also arrived in T20I.
For a few years in between, from 2019 to 2021, his rhythm dipped a bit , you know. But from 2022 onward he sort of became Bangladesh’s most dependable finisher and crisis manager : match-winning knocks against Afghanistan and India, plus a maiden ODI century. In the same series, he also grabbed a five-wicket haul , the one that helped clinch a win over India . His reputation kept climbing through 2024 and 2025 , and by mid-2026 the Bangladesh Cricket Board gave him the ODI captaincy for a 12-month term, taking over from Najmul Hossain Shanto.
