Allrounder Shakib Al Hasan is a vital cog in Bangladesh’s line-up. An average of 40 with the bat and 33 with the ball makes him a genuine all-rounder. He has been a consistent performer for his country, over the years.

A talented left-hand batsman and a left-arm spinner is unarguably the best cricketer that Bangladesh has ever had. As a bowler, he is accurate, consistent, and canny; and his aggression and a wide range of strokes are the keys to his batting.

Even more importantly, he has self-belief an excellent temperament, unflustered by the big occasion and ready to do battle against the top team. At just 28 years of age he holds the numero uno status in the allrounders category in all three formats and is a walkover entry here.
