Kobe mainul haque 17th batch
An early retirement
Mainul went abroad immediately after the 1978 season, thus abruptly ending his international career. The main reason behind his decision was that Bangladesh cricket at the time was very much at the amateur stage. Even the top cricketers were poorly paid. All of them were involved in other professional activities. Apart from Mainu, a number of other national cricketers (Nazrul Kader Lintu, Nazim Shiraji, Asadduzzaman Misha, Nehal Hasnain, just to name a few) gave their careers greater importance over cricket.
Domestic cricket
He played most of his domestic cricket with the Mohammedan Sporting Club of Dhaka.
Relatives
His younger brother Selim was a member of the Bangladesh cricket team that took part in the 1979 ICC Trophy in England.
