Imrul Kayes (Bengali: ইমরুল কায়েস; born 2 February 1987) is a Bangladeshi international cricketer and captain of Comilla Victorians who played for Khulna Division as a left-hand batsman and occasional wicket-keeper. He is called the most neglected cricketer of Bangladesh due to repeated omission from the national team for unknown reasons.[1][2][3][4]
