Mithun Ali is a young wicketkeeper batsman who has close to 3000 first-class runs at an impressive average of 33.59. He was a part of the 2008 Under-19 Bangladesh team. Prior to that, he made his first-class debut in 2006 for Sylhet Division. He had a good limited-overs season in 2008-09 when he scored 285 runs for his team at an intimidating strike rate of 105. Although, he was named is many 15-member squads, his chance of playing an international game came in early 2014 when he debuted in a T20I against Sri Lanka.
Although Ali was not able to get off the mark in that game, consistent performances at the domestic level in the past earned him recognition. He was selected in the 15-member squad for three One-day Internationals against India, starting in Dhaka on June 15.
