Naimur Rahman Durjoy (born 19 September 1974) is a Bangladeshi politician and retired cricketer. He is the former Jatiya Sangsad member from the Manikganj-1 constituency representing the Bangladesh Awami League party.[1][2]
Durjoy served as the first captain of Bangladesh national cricket team. At international level, he played 8 Test and 29 ODI matches for the team.
Cricket career
A right arm off spinner, Durjoy was a member of Bangladesh's 1997 ICC Trophy winning side. He became his country's inaugural Test captain when he led Bangladesh on their Test debut, against India in 2000. Durjoy took 6 wickets for 132 runs in India's first innings, including the wickets of legendary cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly.[3]
After his retirement in 2002, Durjoy became the president of the Cricketers' Welfare Association of Bangladesh.[4]
Political career
On 26 November 2023, Awami League announced the final list of its 298 candidates to contest the 2024 national election which did not include Durjoy.[5]
On 3 September 2024, almost a month after the fall of the Awami League government,[6] Bangladesh Anti-Corruption Commission decided to launch an investigation into corruption allegations against Durjoy accusing him of money laundering, irregularities in projects, and illegally amassing wealth.[7] The day after, on 4 September, he resigned from the board of the directors of Bangladesh Cricket Board.[8] He was detained on 2 July 2025 by the Detective Branch and Manikganj District police.[9]
Personal life
Durjoy is married to Farhana Rahman Happy.[10][11]
