From Cowdrey to Warner: Mushfiqur joins elite club with century in 100th Test

Bangladesh stalwart Mushfiqur Rahim joined the elite club of Test batters when he celebrated his 100th Test by smashing a century on the second day of the second Test against Ireland at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.

The right-hander became only the 11th player in history to score a hundred in their 100th Test match. It was the 13th Test century for the 38-year-old, and in the process, he also equalled Mominul Haque for the highest number of centuries in Test cricket for Bangladesh.
