Rubel is perhaps Bangladesh's quickest bowler and has proven quite effective on the international circuit with his slinging action and ability to reverse. In the absence of Mashrafe Mortaza, he leads the Bangladesh pace attack and his team, usually reliant on spin, will look to him to provide the early breakthroughs.
Strengths
Swing backed up by pace is his main strength. He is also effective with the old ball, getting it to reverse and can aim accurately at the blockhole in the death overs. His economy rate is a concern, though - he gives away runs at 5.79 an over.

Expert view
"Right arm fast medium and bowls like Malinga. Probably the quickest of the lot and can surprise the batsmen with his raw pace and bounce. Started opening the bowling but gave away too many extras. Then switched to bowling with the older ball where he showed improvement. Bowled Kyle Mills with a great yorker in the last over to win the series 4-0 vs. Kiwis"- Athar Ali Khan, former Bangladesh batsman
