The Bangladeshi batsman who made his International debut against Sri Lanka in 2001 has represented Bangladesh in over 250 games. He announced his arrival on the International circuit by scoring a century against Sri Lanka, becoming the youngest player to score a test century. Bangladesh dropped him in 2003, but Ashraful eventually made a comeback in 2004 scoring 158 against India at Chittagong. Owing to his performances, Bangladesh appointed him as the captain in 2007. Then he was only 22, and it meant a lot of burden for him.

Mohammad Ashraful was involved in the spot-fixing controversy in 2013 while playing for Dhaka Gladiators in the Bangladesh Premier League. The BCB handed over an 8-year ban to the former Bangladesh skipper and later trimmed it down to five years with a 2-year suspension. Ashraful reportedly took USD 12,800 to lose a match against Chittagong Kings in the season 2 of BPL.
