Mohammad Sanwar Hossain (Template:Lang-bn) (born August 5, 1973, in Mymensingh) is a former Bangladeshi cricketer, who was part of the Bangladesh squad for the 2003 Cricket World Cup.[1] In a group stage match against Sri Lanka, Charminda Vaas took 4 wickets in an over, with Hossain being the fourth batsman to fall.[2][3] Hossain scored one half-century in international cricket, against Zimbabwe in 2001.[4]

In July 2003, Hossain was called for throwing in a Test match in Australia,[5] however he was allowed to play in the subsequent One Day International series as it fell within the 6 weeks in which his bowling action was being reviewed.[6][7]

In 2004, Hossain began working at Biman Bangladesh Airlines, but in November, he was recalled to the Bangladesh squad for their series against India after getting time off work from the airline to allow him to play.[8]

Hossain retired from first-class cricket in 2005, but in 2015 made an appearance for Mushtaque XI against Jewel XI in a Victory Day Exhibiton T20 match.[9][10]
