Mushfiqur Rahim has become the first Bangladeshi batter to score 7,000 runs in Test cricket, Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) reported on Monday. The milestone was reached during Bangladesh's ongoing Test match, according to the state news agency.
Several Bangladeshi outlets carried the story on the same day. bdnews24.com described him as the country's first player to reach seven thousand runs, while The Daily Star Bangla and The Daily Ittefaq both framed the achievement as a first in Bangladesh's Test history. AwaazBD reported the same figure.
Mushfiqur has long been a fixture of Bangladesh's middle order in the longest format, and the 7,000-run mark sets him apart as the leading run-scorer his country has produced in Test cricket. The reports did not specify the innings or the match situation in which he passed the milestone.
The exact match, venue and opponent were not detailed in the reporting available. BSS published its report at 10:25 GMT on Monday, 9 November 2026.
The next thing to watch is how the match itself unfolds from here, with the reports offering no further detail on the state of the game at the point the landmark was passed.
