Hasibul Hussain Shanto
Career  Sketch by Miran Rahman

The first cricketer from an ICC associate nation to take 25 ODI wickets,
Hasib is one of the most experienced Bangladeshi bowlers in terms of overs
completed.  Bowls out-swing to the right hander with a nice high action but
is handicapped by lack of real pace (would probably only be classified as a
medium pacer outside the Subcontinent) and a tendency to be wayward and
expensive.  With a number of other young Bangladeshi seamers now scrapping for a national team place, Hasib's position is no longer as secure as it used to be and an indifferent first-class domestic season in 2000-2001
hasn't helped him much either.

He does manage to strengthen the tail with his batting, though his
statistics suggest that he is more of a keen eyed biffer than someone with
real allround potential.  Particularly spirited cameo innings include an
eleven ball 22 against England 'A' in 1999 and a breezy unbeaten 28 against
India in Bangladesh's first Test, (three fours and a six).

Career highlights: 
  • 31 off 23 balls against Pakistan in Multan Test, ATC 2001
  • 5/85 in first-class match against England 'A' in 1999
  • 4/56 in ODI against Kenya in 1999
  • 4/46 in first-class match against the MCC in 2000
