Former Bangladesh national team cricketer Mosharraf Hossain Rubel, who had been battling a brain tumour, breathed his last on Tuesday.

He was 40.

The cricketer breathed his last while undergoing treatment at United Hospital this afternoon. 

Left-arm spinner Rubel was diagnosed with a brain tumor in March 2019.

However, Rubel recovered through treatment before his tumor resurfaced last year in January.

Rubel represented Bangladesh in five ODIs in between 2008 to 2016 and claimed four wickets alongside scoring 26 runs.    

On Tuesday his physical condition worsened and was taken to United Hospital where the on-duty doctors declared him dead.
