A player who returned to international cricket after a brief and premature retirement in the summer of '99.  Has frequently done the job for Bangladesh against non-Test opponents, (took nineteen wickets at 10.68 in the 1997 ICC Trophy) but has looked more innocuous against world class batsmen on seamer or batsmen friendly tracks.  Rafiq holds the current Bangladeshi record for the most number of maidens bowled in an ODI, (five against India in 1998) and also bowled a lot of tidy overs against the same opposition in Bangladesh's first Test.  This performance was soured for Rafiq though, as soon afterwards the legality of his action was questioned, (as was that of Naim-ur-Rahman) and Rafiq responded somewhat tardily to demands that he have his bowling action checked.

Rafiq is also a flashy, attacking batsman lower order batsman who loves to chip the ball over the in-field and has occasionally been used in a surprise role at the top of the order.
