Yeasin Arafat (born 7 October 1998) is a Bangladeshi cricketer.[1]

Domestic career

He made his first-class debut for Chittagong Division in the 2016–17 National Cricket League on 25 September 2016. He took a five-wicket haul in the first innings and was named man of the match.[2][3] He made his List A debut for Brothers Union in the 2016–17 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League on 20 April 2017.[4]

On 14 March 2018, bowling for Gazi Group Cricketers against Abahani Limited in the 2017–18 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League, Arafat became the first Bangladeshi bowler to take eight wickets in a List A match.[5] He finished with figures of 8 for 40 from 8.1 overs. It was the first eight-wicket haul in List A cricket since 2010.[5]

In August 2019, he was one of 35 cricketers named in a training camp ahead of Bangladesh's 2019–20 season.[6]

International career

In September 2019, he was named in Bangladesh's first two T20Is squad for the 2019–20 Bangladesh Tri-Nation Series.[7] However, he could not play due to injury and he was replaced by Abu Haider. He was later dropped from the squad for the next two T20Is.[8]
