Prior to the partition of India in August 1947, cricketers from the region that is now Bangladesh generally played for Bengal, which had been active in Ranji Trophy matches since the 1935\u201336 season.[2]Most of the team’s matches at first-class level came in the domestic Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, while others were played in the Ayub Trophy or against touring international sides.[3] The team first played in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy during the 1954\u201355 season, but did not appear again until the 1959\u201360 season, subsequently going on to field a team for seven consecutive tournaments (incorporating the 1961\u201362 to 1970\u201371 seasons).[4] For other tournaments the province was split into several sides, including East Pakistan “A” and “B” and the East Pakistan Greens and Whites. Several other sides primarily fielding East Pakistani players also participated in Pakistani domestic competitions.[5] In total, East Pakistan played 20 matches at first-class level, although two of these were abandoned without a ball being bowled.[4]As regional Pakistani cricket teams were almost exclusively amateur at the time, the composition of the team was often highly unstable. Of the 67 players for East Pakistan, 26 played only a single match for the team, while only two played more than ten matches\u2014Abdul Latif, the team’s highest-scoring batsman, played fifteen matches, captaining the side in ten, and Daulat Zaman played eleven. East Pakistan often fielded high-quality players from West Pakistan who had re-located to the province for employment or business commitments. These included six Test cricketers\u2014Mahmood Hussain, Mohammad Munaf, Mufassir-ul-Haq, Nasim-ul-Ghani, Naushad Ali, and Niaz Ahmed[6] No native East Pakistanis, Bengali or otherwise, represented Pakistan’s national side at Test level. The closest was Raqibul Hasan, who was twelfth man against the touring New Zealanders during the 1969\u201370 season, and the following season represented a full-strength Pakistan side against a Commonwealth XI.[7] Raqibul went on to serve as Bangladesh’s inaugural captain in the 1979 ICC Trophy, and later played two One Day International (ODI) matches for the team.[8] Two other East Pakistan players went on to play for Bangladesh in ICC Trophy matches\u2014Ashraful Haque and Shafiqul Haque.[9][10]List of players[edit]No.NameFirstLastMRunsHSAvg10050WBBAve5\/i10\/mCStRef1Mohsin Kazi \u202020 November 195427 January 1956350338.3300\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u201320[11]2Mohammad Ibrahim20 November 195425 January 1960222217.3300\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u201320[12]3Ismail Gul \u202120 November 195412 December 196271803515.0000226\/13023.811010[13]4Abdur Rauf20 November 195428 December 19542451711.250000\/6\u20130020[14]5Taufiq Ahmed20 November 195420 November 19541282814.0000\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u201310[15]6Syed Ahmed20 November 195427 January 1956327125.400021\/3738.500000[16]7Latif-ur-Rehman20 November 195420 November 19541552.5000\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u201300[17]8Mohammad Sarwar \u202120 November 195428 December 19542551.250022\/2938.500010[18]9Naseer Sani20 November 195420 November 19541231723.000011\/3232.000020[19]10Athar Ali20 November 195428 December 19542199*9.500053\/4619.000010[20]11P.
