Born on 1st January, 1984, Alok Kapali is one of the many Bangladeshi players who have not maximized their potential and talent. An all-rounder who bats right handed and bowls an assortment of leg-spin. As has been the bane with Bangladesh's selectorial policy, Kapali was thrust into the national squad at the tender age of 18 against Sri Lanka in 2002 despite a modest average at FC level.

Kapali did show the required technique and temperament making starts in both the innings in what was a disappointing batting effort by the team. Kapali scored his first fifty against West Indies at Dhaka in the same year and made his career best knock of 85 in the same series. He has been plagued by the same inconsistency that has followed all the batsmen in Bangladesh and has failed to pass 50 in a test since then.
