Mohammad Sabbir Rahman (; born 22 November 1991) is a Bangladeshi . He is from Rajshahi and besides the national team, he plays for Rajshahi Division in domestic cricket. He is a batter who occasionally bowls leg spin. He was the highest run scorer for a test playing nation in the 2016 Asia Cup and became man of the tournament. He made his international debut in February 2014.
On 23 February 2019, against New Zealand, Sabbir scored his maiden ODI century which was also his first ever century in international cricket.
In October 2018, he was named in the squad for the Sylhet Sixers team, following the draft for the 2018–19 Bangladesh Premier League. In November 2019, he was selected to play for the Cumilla Warriors in the 2019–20 Bangladesh Premier League.
On 1 January 2018, Sabbir was stripped of his central contract, barred from playing international cricket for 6 months, and fined Bangladeshi taka 20 lakh (US$25,000) by the BCB for an incident that happened on 21 December 2017 during Rajshahi Division's first class match against Dhaka Metropolis. During the incident, Sabbir went behind a sight screen and assaulted a young boy who had made a noise towards him during an innings break on the second day of the match. Sabbir was questioned by the match referee on day three, at which point Sabbir got "physically aggressive".
On 28 July, the BCB started investigations after Sabbir allegedly threatened two fans on Facebook following an ODI loss to West Indies. The incident started when one of the fans made a sarcastic comment regarding Sabbir's form on the account of "Shabbir Rahaman Roman", which is believed to be Sabbir's personal Facebook account. Sabbir then responded by allegedly sending messages containing foul language and threats of physical harm. In September 2018, the BCB recommended a six-month suspension from international cricket.
On 16 June 2021, Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club lodged a complaint against Sabbir, who was playing for Legends of Rupganj, for allegedly racially abusing and throwing stones at Elias Sunny, who was playing for Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi. The alleged incident took place during a T20 match between Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi and Old DOHS Sports Club during the Dhaka Premier Division T20 League at the Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan (BKSP) ground 3 in Savar Upazila. Sabbir, who had a game against Partex Sporting Club at the BKSP 4 ground later in the day, abused and threw stones at Sunny, who was fielding at the time, while Sabbir was standing outside the boundary. This incident caused the game to be paused for a few minutes. Sunny has alleged that this is not an isolated incident and that this is a continuation of a previous incident where Sabbir had racially abused Sunny while the two were playing against each other in a previous match. The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) is investigating this incident. Following the investigation, Sabbir, along with Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi manager Sultan Mahmud, was fined Bangladeshi taka 50,000 (US$590).
