Born in Feni, Mohammad Saifuddin was selected for the Under-19 World Cup in 2016, which was hosted by Bangladesh, a year after making his First-Class debut for Chittagong Division. He was named for the World Cup squad following impressive performances at the junior level. The seam-bowling all-rounder was an integral member of the Bangladesh unit which won five out of the six matches and finished third in the multi-nation tournament. That’s where a 19-year-old grabbed headlines with his performance. Saifuddin bagged 13 wickets in six innings and was Bangladesh’s highest wicket-taker in the competition.
