Arafat Rahman, nicknamed "Koko"[1] (December 8, 1969 – January 24, 2015) was a Bangladeshi cricket organizer and former Chairman of the Development Committee of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.[2] He was also the younger son of the former President of Bangladesh Ziaur Rahman[3] and former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Khaleda Zia.[4]
Arafat Rahman is widely remembered for his contribution to cricket in Bangladesh as the Chairman of the Development Committee of the Bangladesh Cricket Board from 2002 to 2005. He played a significant role in designing a development programme for the Bangladesh Cricket Board, initiating the High-Performance Squad that worked as the grooming ground for young cricketers and ensured a pipeline of talent for the national cricket team over the following decade.[5]
Arafat died in Malaysia on January 24, 2015, due to cardiac arrest.[1] He was exiled by the caretaker regime of 2007-08 after his conviction in a money laundering case which his lawyers claimed was fabricated. The funds in question were claimed by his lawyers to have been transferred by a Singaporean businessman with no obvious ties to Rahman while he was in jail in November 2007.[6]
