Mosaddek Hossain – Sharmin Samira Usha
Very few might have heard the name of Mosaddek Hossain but the right-handed batsman is an upcoming talent from Bangladesh. Being the only Bangladeshi batsman to score three double centuries in first-class cricket, he made his debut for the national side in 2016 and has performed decently well thorough out the years. So far in the 59 matches across the formats, the all-rounder has scored 984 runs to go with 4 half-centuries. With the ball, he has scalped 19 wickets.
His personal life however has been marred by many controversies. He married his cousin, Sharmin Samira at the age of 16 in 2012. Fews years after his marriage, the batting all-rounder was accused of domestic violence and torturing his wife for dowry, which saw him getting snubbed from the national squad as well. The couple then finally parted ways and then last year the Bangladeshi cricketer tied the knot for the second time.
