The most defensible answer from the available sources is that at least 6 to 21 Hindu cricketers have represented Bangladesh, depending on whether you mean only recent international players or all players across eras. Recent sports write-ups list 6 or 7 current/former names, while older roundups and fact-check pieces cite larger historical totals such as 17 or 21.

Why the number varies

Different articles are counting different things:

  • Some count only international men’s players in the modern era.
  • Some include older domestic-era or all-time names that appeared in broader lists.
  • Some also mention women’s cricket , which can change the total further.

Practical answer

If you want a simple headline answer, say: “Bangladesh has had around 17 Hindu cricketers historically, though some reports give figures from 6 to 21 depending on the counting method.”

Example names

Commonly mentioned names include Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Alok Kapali, Tapas Baisya, Diman Ghosh, and Subhasish Roy.

Note on sensitivity

This is a religious-identification question about public figures, so the safest way to report it is as a historical count from published lists , not as a definitive personal label for every player.
