3 Shakib ul Hassan

Shakib Al Hasan

Statistically the most successful player in Bangladesh’s history, veteran allrounder Shakib Al Hasan played in his third ICC Cricket World Cup in 2015. An under-19 representative for his country, Shakib made his one-day international debut in August 2006 against Zimbabwe, and his Test debut followed one year later. Skilled with the bat and the ball, Shakib has played a major role in the development of the Bangladesh cricket team through his career. He was captain of the team which defeated New Zealand 4-0 in an ODI series in 2010, while Shakib was a member of the 2007 and 2011 World Cup squads. Shakib’s World Cup performances to date include three fifties, with a top score of 57* against England in 2007. In November 2014 Shakib became only the third player in history to score a century and take 10 wickets in the same Test match. 

He was named Bangladesh captain when he was 22 years old.
