Abdul Halim Chowdhury was a Bengali cricketer.
He played first-class cricket regularly for different teams from East Pakistan during the latter half of the 1960s.
In March 1971, East Pakistan declared independence (and took the new name Bangladesh).
Unfortunately, Abdul Halim Chowdhury was killed during the liberation war.
Since then he has enjoyed a folk-hero status in the annals of Bangladesh cricket history.
Shaheed Jewel, as he is commonly called now, was a role model for the first generation of Bangladeshi cricketers.
