Shoriful Islam is a left-arm fast-medium bowler from Bangladesh. He bats left-handed and has appeared in one-day international cricket for his country.
In ODI cricket, Shoriful has accumulated 512 runs. His primary role is as a bowler, operating with left-arm pace at the fast-medium end of the spectrum - a skillset that has established him as part of Bangladesh's bowling unit.
Left-arm pace bowlers offer natural angles across the crease, particularly to right-handed batsmen, and Shoriful's inclusion in the ODI squad reflects Bangladesh's investment in developing pace-bowling options. His dual ability to contribute with the bat, while remaining primarily a specialist bowler, provides flexibility in team selection and match situations where lower-order batting depth is needed.
