Manjural Islam Rana (4 May 1984 – 16 March 2007), also known as Qazi Manjural Islam, was a Bangladeshi cricketer who played six Tests and 25 One Day Internationals for Bangladesh. Born in Khulna, Rana was a slow left arm orthodox bowler. At domestic level he played for Khulna Division. Rana made his One Day International debut in November 2003 against England, and three months later played his first Test. On 16 March 2007, he died in a road traffic accident; at the age of 22 years and 316 days he became the youngest Test cricketer to die.
Rana made his first-class debut on 22 November 2000, playing for Khulna Division against Barisal Division. His first wicket was that of Towhid Hossain, bowled, but he did not bat in the match. In his next first-class match, against Dhaka Metropolis for Khulna, Rana batted for the first time; he scored 8 and 18 not out. In the match, 19 other players made their first-class debut as this was the first match for both Khulna and Dhaka in Bangladesh's new National Cricket League. Rana made his one-day debut the same month; on 25 November 2000, he played for Khulna against Barisal Division. In the match he scored 22 runs and took 3 wickets for 20 runs. Once again, Rana was one of 20 people to debut in the match in the new Ispahani Mirzapore Tea One-Day League. In his first season with Khulna, Rana played 10 first-class matches, scoring 299 runs at 24.91 and taking 35 wickets at 20.14, and 10 one-day matches, scoring 70 runs at 11.66 and taking 10 wickets at 26.00.
In the 2001/02 season, Rana played just two first-class and two one-day matches, with little success compared to the previous year. He experienced more success in 2002/03, playing in six first-class matches – in which he scored 390 runs at 48.75, including four half-centuries, and took 27 wickets at 20.00 – and six one-day matches, scoring 28 runs at 5.60 and taking 18 wickets at 9.55. During the 2003 English cricket season, Rana represented the Old Mid-Whitgiftians in the Surrey Championship. Rana was chosen to be part of the Bangladesh A squad that toured Pakistan in 2003/04.
