One of the best players of his nation, Ashraful has represented Bangladesh in 61 Tests, 178 ODIs, and 23 T20Is. Ashraful will always be remembered for thrashing the Aussies in a Tri-series in England way back in 2005, as a 21-year-old. He was instrumental in Bangladesh's dream run in the 2007 ICC Cricket World cup where they surprisingly defeated India (in the league stage) and South Africa (Super-eights) and recorded their best ever World cup finish.

Ashraful was bought by the Mumbai Indians for $ 75,000 in the 2009 IPL auctions. He represented Mumbai in just one game, in which he scored two runs. That was his only match of that season and remains to be his only IPL game to date.
