Not notable, no references TotesBoats 07:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 *  Weak keep. Marginal, but appears to meet WP:BIO ("Competitors who have played in a fully professional league") and Cricinfo is a relatively reliable source. Most pre-WWW data on Cricinfo comes from Wisden Cricketers' Almanack so is verifiable. Dbromage  [Talk]  08:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Marginal? He played two one day internationals against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in 1986.  A link is also given to his page on Cricket Archive now, which pretty much everyone accepts as definitive..Nick mallory 10:24, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep and expand. Precedent is that all first class cricketers are notable. Thin Arthur 08:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - a reference (to [cricinfo.com] is there, but is easily missed as it is at the bottom of the infobox. The Cricinfo imformation shows that he has played in one-day internationals for Bangladesh, which makes him definitely notable. JH (talk page) 09:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per WP:BIO because he's played for his country (which is the #9 ranked country in the world). Stephen Turner (Talk) 09:53, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep He played two One Day Internationals for Bangladesh. Did the nominator do any research at all?  The references are in the info box. Nick mallory 09:55, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Nick mallory and myself have added details and references that should remove any doubt about the notability of this person. Arman Aziz 10:37, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Looks like an article now! Anybody prepared to call WP:SNOW? Dbromage  [Talk]  10:43, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Obvious keep An international sportsman in one of the worlds most popular sports is inherently notable. Andrew nixon 11:28, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
