**Headline: Mustafizur Rahman Poised to Make History at T20 Asia Cup**

**Abu Dhabi:** Bangladesh’s star fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is on the cusp of achieving a historic milestone at the upcoming T20 Asia Cup 2025, set to begin on September 11th in Abu Dhabi. Rahman needs just 8 wickets to become the first Bangladeshi bowler to reach 150 T20I wickets.

Currently, Rahman has 142 wickets in 113 T20I matches. If he achieves this feat, he will surpass Shakib Al Hasan (149 wickets in 129 matches) to become Bangladesh’s all-time leading wicket-taker in the T20 format.

Only three bowlers worldwide have currently taken 150 or more T20I wickets: Rashid Khan of Afghanistan (171), Tim Southee of New Zealand (164), and Ish Sodhi, also of New Zealand (150). Rahman has the opportunity to join this elite group during the Asia Cup.

Bangladesh’s squad for the T20 Asia Cup 2025 includes: Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Liton Das (wk/c), Towhid Hridoy, Saif Hassan, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Mohammad Saifuddin, Nurul Hasan, Shoriful Islam, Shamim Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

Bangladesh will face their first challenge in the Asia Cup at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on September 11th, where Rahman will be looking to make his mark.
