Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He made his T20I debut for Bangladesh in the first game against Sri Lanka in Chittagong in February 2014, and picked up three wickets. He was the most successful spinner in last season's Dhaka Premier Division, the country's List A competition, with 29 wickets at an average of 19.13. He represented Rangpur Riders in the 2015 and 2016 editions of the Bangladesh Premier League.
Sunny was the second highest wicket-taker in the ODI series against Zimbabwe in Nov-Dec 2014. He picked up 10 wickets in three matches at an impressive average of 7.80, including two four-wicket hauls. He was later awarded the national contract from the BCB. He was selected for the 2015 World Cup in Australia and his services were needed for only one match. He played the must-win game against England in Adelaide. He wasn't effective with the ball and was dropped for further matches.
The left-arm spinner was selected for the home ODI series against Pakistan in 2015 after the World Cup. He picked six wickets in three games and retained his place for the India series. Continuous failures led to him being axed from the 50-over format. The selectors persisted with the left-arm bowler in T20s. He was selected for the World T20 held in India in 2016. But, midway through the tournament, he was sent back as his as his bowling action along with fellow team-mate Taskin Ahmed was found to be illegal. In September 2016, Sunny remodeled his bowling action and it was found to be legal by the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane. However, he hasn't been considered for selection by the selectors since the ban.
He was arrested by the Bangladesh police in Dhaka on January 2017 after he allegedly posted sensitive photos on social media. It is very unlikely to see Arafat Sunny in Bangladesh colors again.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Arafat Sunny is the classic Bangladeshi left-arm spinner, bred on limited-overs cricket. He is accurate, and uses the combination of shoulder, arm and wrist to flummox the batsman. He usually doesn't offer the batsman much room outside off stump, forcing him to search for runs on the leg side, which offers the opportunity for a return catch or one to cover or a stumping.
He has all the attributes of a limited-overs bowler, yet he has been playing first-class and club cricket from the 2001-02 season after being part of Bangladesh's Under-15 side in 2000. If his birth records are correct, Sunny made his first-class debut for Dhaka Division at the age of 15 years, 4 months and 9 days. He has continued to bowl more and more over the years, always getting a decent deal in the Dhaka Premier League and mostly ending the season among the top ten wicket-takers. In first-class cricket he had one missed season, 2010-11, but took 50 wickets in the next season to make sure nobody forgot about him.
Born in Amin Bazar in the outskirts of Dhaka, Sunny started training in the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium's indoor facilities, being chaperoned by his mother, who even went to his early first-class and club matches. Sunny is fond of pigeons and had several at the roof of his home, but when he was chosen to play for Bangladesh in 2014, he had to let the birds go. He took 16 wickets at an average of 17.81 and took two back-to-back four-wicket hauls against Zimbabwe, which won him a place in the 2015 World Cup squad.
