 * Delete. This CricBuzz article and reprints of it were all I was able to find for coverage. His name is in the title, but the article doesn't really go into much depth about him as a person, it's probably not significant coverage. Bowling and coaches don't have any WP:NSPORT criteria that could make this an easy keep, three WP:GNG sources are needed. – Novem Linguae (talk) 14:55, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Now that I know that spin bowling is cricket (and not bowling), I can evaluate the correct SNG. Per Rugbyfan22, has played at the highest level (List A, first-class). Keep. Sorry for the confusion :) – Novem Linguae (talk) 18:00, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - he passes on both WP:GNG as a coach, as there are a raft of articles about him on pretty much every cricket website covering Bangladeshi cricket; but irrespective of that, after 13 first class matches he's a clear and easy pass on the basis of WP:CRIN criteria. I'm shocked that this article could be proposed for deletion. DevaCat1 (talk) 17:03, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , thanks for your comment. I'm not too familiar with cricket. Could you link to a couple of the articles you mention, and also mention which bullet point of WP:CRIN he meets and why? I'm happy to change my vote if convinced. Thank you for your time. – Novem Linguae (talk) 17:09, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * hopefully the revised version of the article meets your expectations. There are now multiple external links to various websites; I could go to more, but don't want to overload the article with external references. I've also added a box of stats. My view is that he would qualify under WP:GNG as a coach, but also as WP:CRIN as a player, by virtue of having played first class cricket and List A cricket.

 * Keep: Played 13 first-class and 3 list-A matches in Bangladesh for the most successful side in the Bangladesh cricket league passing him for WP:CRIN. Also coached the Bangladesh national side as a spin bowling coach so passes that way as well. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:35, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Comfortably meets NCRIC, and more importantly there is more than enough significant coverage to meet GNG. wjematherplease leave a message... 19:50, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
