Naimur Rahman Durjoy (born 19 September 1974) is a Bangladeshi politician and retired cricketer. He is the formerJatiya Sangsad member from theManikganj-1 constituency representing theBangladesh Awami League party.[1][2]
Durjoy served as the first captain ofBangladesh national cricket team. At international level, he played 8 Test and 29 ODI matches for the team.
A right arm off spinner, Durjoy was a member of Bangladesh's1997 ICC Trophy winning side. He became his country's inaugural Test captain when he led Bangladesh on their Test debut, againstIndia in 2000. Durjoy took 6 wickets for 132 runs in India's first innings, including the wickets of legendary cricketers likeSachin Tendulkar andSourav Ganguly.[3] However, a loss of form saw him lose the captaincy the following year and also his spot in the side.
After his retirement in 2002, Durjoy became the president of the Cricketers' Welfare Association of Bangladesh.[4]
On 26 November 2023, Awami League announced the final list of its 298 candidates to contest the2024 national election which did not include Durjoy.[5]
On 3 September 2024, almost a month after the fall of theAwami League government,[6]Bangladesh Anti-Corruption Commission decided to launch an investigation into corruption allegations against Durjoy accusing him of money laundering, irregularities in projects, and illegally amassing wealth.[7] The day after, on 4 September, he resigned from the board of the directors ofBangladesh Cricket Board.[8] He was detained on 2 July 2025 by theDetective Branch and Manikganj District police.[9]
Durjoy is married to Farhana Rahman Happy.[10][11]
