Shoriful Islam welcomes his first child

Bangladesh's fast-rising cricket star, Shoriful Islam, has entered a new phase of his personal life as he becomes a father for the first time. 

The young pacer, who was instrumental in Bangladesh's U19 World Cup triumph in 2020, shared the exciting news on social media.

On his official Facebook page, Shoriful announced that his wife, Farhin Sheikh Chandni, gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Tuesday morning at 8:35 AM. In a heartfelt message, he expressed his gratitude, saying: "Alhamdulillah. I thank Allah for blessing me with a son this morning. Both mother and child are doing well. Please keep us in your prayers."

Shoriful's rise in Bangladesh cricket has been rapid, with his performances in the U19 World Cup putting him on the national radar. Since then, he has cemented his spot in Bangladesh�s squad across all three formats of the game, showcasing his potential on both domestic and international stages.

The fast bowler married Farhin in 2022, marking a significant milestone in his life. Now, just a year after their wedding, the couple is celebrating the birth of their first child.

Shoriful was recently part of Bangladesh's squad for the T20I series against India but missed out on the Test series due to injury. He played in the first T20I but did not feature in the remaining matches, with Bangladesh ultimately losing the series 3-0 to India.
