ABOUT ME

One love for cricket.
A journey in media.

I am a Bangladeshi media entrepreneur and journalist, and the founder of BDCricTime.

My journey began in 2010, when sharing cricket updates was simply something I loved doing. In 2011 I created BDCricTeam.com to bring cricket news and updates closer to Bangladeshi fans. What began as one person's interest gradually developed into an organisation of editors, reporters, creators and technical professionals.

The platform began earning revenue in 2015 and took on the name BDCricTime in late 2016. Building a sustainable media operation taught me that a good story needs more than passion: it needs consistency, a committed team and the trust of its audience.

My work has taken me from cricket venues in Bangladesh to international tournaments across Asia, Australia and Europe. Through BDSportsTime, I have also continued building a platform for football and other sports.

“From Passion to Profession” is not just a tagline. It is the story behind this work.

STORIES FROM THE FIELD

Behind the assignment

AZERBAIJAN · 2026

Football, a new chapter

In Baku I followed Bangladesh's journey at the FIFA U-15 World Cup & Festival, where the team finished runners-up in Tier E. A reminder of why covering developing talent matters.

At cricket's historic grounds

Covering the ICC Women's T20 World Cup brought me to Lord's and The Oval — places where the setting and the stories behind the game are as memorable as the score.

Stories from the Top End

During the Top End T20 in Darwin, I reported on Bangladesh A and recorded conversations with players and people involved in Northern Territory cricket.

COMMUNITY & LEADERSHIP

Building connections
beyond the newsroom.

Sports media has also connected me with volunteer and professional communities. I served as a founding secretary of the Bangladesh Cricket Supporters Association from 2014 to 2023 and became a member of JCI Dhaka Founders in 2024.

In 2025, JCI activities took me to the Asia-Pacific Conference in Mongolia and the World Congress in Tunisia. These experiences reinforced the value of learning, collaboration and contributing beyond one's profession.
