2. Nafees Iqbal
Nafees Iqbal made his ODI debut in November 2003 and featured in his maiden Test match in the following year. Soon, he hit his first fifty in the red-ball format against India, which was enough to build his confidence. Three matches later, Nafees struck a terrific century against Zimbabwe in January 2005.
The southpaw continued his good form in the Zimbabwe series and hit two half-centuries. Despite his impressive form, Nafees last featured for Bangladesh in 2006. He hit 807 runs in 27 appearances across two formats.
Nafees continued to play in the domestic circuit until 2018. The 37-year-old is currently serving as the manager of the national team, while his brother Tamim is the ODI captain.
