I reckon you are thinking of Sajjadul Hasan. He only played first class cricket.

And Tertius Bosch is another of the 5, Tassie.

Edit: You are right, roger, Manjural Islam Rana was killed in the same accident as Hasan. I didn't check up on that as I thought he only played first class cricket. You have stumped me!
