He was only 23 years and 164 days old when he died of tuberculosis on February 16, 1933, on the day Australia surrendered the Ashes during the Bodyline series. Therefore, in March 2007 tragedy struck Bangladesh cricket when Manzarul-Islam-Rana was killed in a road accident, aged just 22 years 316 days. A left-arm spinner, Manzarul-Islam-Rana had played in six Tests and 25 one-day internationals.
