S.M. Meherob Hasan is a rising Bangladeshi all-rounder known for his left-handed batting and right-arm offbreak bowling. Born on July 30, 2003, in Rajshahi, Meherob has emerged as one of the most promising young talents in Bangladesh’s domestic and age-group cricket.
Early Life and Youth Development
Meherob grew up in Rajshahi, a region known for producing technically sound cricketers. His early cricketing journey began in local academies and age-group tournaments, where he quickly gained attention for his composure and versatility. He represented Bangladesh Under-14s and steadily progressed through the ranks, eventually earning a spot in the Bangladesh Under-19 squad for the 2022 ICC U-19 World Cup.
His performances in youth cricket showcased a balanced skill set — a middle-order batter capable of anchoring innings and a part-time off-spinner who could break partnerships.
Domestic Career Progression
Meherob made his List A debut for Gazi Group Cricketers in the 2021–22 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League. Since then, he has featured in multiple domestic formats:
| Format | Matches | Runs | Bat Avg | Best | Wickets | Bowl Avg | Best Bowling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First-Class | 15 | 593 | 25.78 | 66* | 19 | 24.00 | 6/35 |
| List A | 41 | 905 | 30.16 | 77 | 14 | 42.71 | 2/8 |

He has played for Durbar Rajshahi, Durdanto Dhaka, and Rajshahi Division, contributing as a middle-order stabilizer and a tactical bowler in tight situations.
International Exposure and U-19 Impact
Meherob’s selection for the 2022 ICC U-19 World Cup marked a key milestone. Although Bangladesh didn’t win the tournament, his performances were consistent, and he was seen as a dependable all-rounder. He also represented Bangladesh in the South Asian Games, contributing to the team’s gold medal win in 2019.
His ability to adapt under pressure and contribute in both departments has made him a regular feature in Bangladesh A and Emerging squads.
