Mirajul Islam

Mirajul Islam Miraj was born on 1 October 2006, in Jhalokati District of the Barisal Division, the son of Henara Begum and Khalilur Rahman.While playing regional tournaments with BKSP in Barishal, academy coach Anwar Hossain secured Miraj a deal with the 2017 Pioneer Football League champions Kingstar Sporting Club, in 2020.[2][3] After the 2019–20 Dhaka Third Division League was postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the season opening game against Chawkbazar United ended in their opponents forfeiting, Miraj officially made his debut for Kingstar and scored in a 2–0 victory over Alamgir Shomaj Kollayan KS, on 2 March 2021.This was the academies first league game and thus, Miraj became their first ever goalscorer, this attracted the attention of newly appointed national team head coach Javier Cabrera.[1] 40 percent of the transfer fee was given to Miraj, and along with BFF's assistance he was able to pay for his mother, Henara Begum's treatment, as she was terminally ill with Cancer.Other than being an unused substitute against Bashundhara Kings on 2 July 2022, he was left out of the squad for the remainder of the season, ending his loan spell at the club with only 98 minutes of game time.[20] However, Miraj, along with the five other players Brothers Union purchased during the auction, missed the first phase of the 2023–24 Bangladesh Premier League as the club failed to finalize their payments with the BFF.As most players in the team were from top-tier Bangladeshi clubs, Miraj would have to start the tournament as a substitute against Sri Lanka U20, and scored from a curling effort on the 71st minute, to win his side the game.Although Bangladesh defeated hosts Sri Lanka U17 5–0, Miraj was not able to put his name on the scoresheet, he responded in the following group-stage game, with a hat-trick against Malidives U17 in a 5–1 win, on 7 September 2022.[36] In the final against hosts Nepal U20, held on 28 August, Miraj scored twice and provided an assist, with his first goal coming from a direct free-kick from about 20 yards in first-half stoppage time.[38] On 29 August 2024, a day after winning the 2024 SAFF U-20 Championship, Miraj was included in the Bangladesh national team for two FIFA Friendly matches against Bhutan.
