Saw today's incident of Bangladesh vs Pakistan match where Mohammad Nawaz pulled out of his stance at the last moment and ball went on to hit the stumps.. But Mahmudullah showed his usual sportsmanship and sorted out the matter in very calm way..
Mahmudullah is very different to his teammates in terms of calmness, patience, attitude and behaviour..
He is definitely a gentleman cricketer and one of the very few currently playing..
Seems like there are very few good guys in the gentlemen's game right now..

Here are few,
Mahmudullah
Ajinkya Rahane
Kane Williamson
Jason Holder
Mohammed Rizwan
Joe Root
Dimuth Karunaratne
 
Williamson, Moeen Ali, and Adil Rashid are probably the most gentlemen cricketer in the world today.

After that, Joe Root, Rizwan, Babar, Mahmudullah, Jason Holder, Karunaratne, Trent Boult, Eoin Morgan, Rahane etc.

How did i miss Trent Boult?
He is probably the most gentle fast bowler to play the game..

I think we both have missed many players.

Cricket has become gentler in nature. There are more gentle players now than before.

South Africa's Dean Elgar and Faf du Plessis are pretty gentle also.
 
Kane Williamson and Joe Root.

Among fast bowlers, it is Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, the Mumbai Indians duo.

From subcontinent, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are most gentlemanly cricketers.

Definitely not Bumrah. I have seen Bumrah losing cool before.
 
Why do we need gentlemen players?
I would prefer skillful players who play by the rules and don't disrespect anyone.
That's it.

You are right. I have no issue with players who play by the rules and don't disrespect anyone.

But, cricket is a gentleman's sport and hence gentlemen (who are capable) players are the true role models. Someone like Hashim Amla or Kane Williamson is the right role model for the game of cricket.

Jason Holder should not be in the list probably. He is the only Windies player in the current squad barring may be Gabriel who i have seen sledging/having words with opposition during the slip fielding.

- Gilchrist(w)
- Trott
- Dravid
- Younis Khan
- Kane Williamson (c)
- Carl Hooper
- Kumble
- Brett Lee
- Bumrah
- Muralitharan
- Boult

Sachin should be here instead of Trott.

I am not sure of Brett Lee.
