Qazi Habibul Bashar Sumon
Career  Sketch by Miran Rahman

Aggressive number three batsman and occasionally useful part time off spinner who's first significant contribution for the national team was a rapid 70 against Zimbabwe in 1997.  After a period in the wilderness he took advantage of injuries in the Bangladesh side to turn in some handy performances with bat and ball against the West Indies in 1999.  Also impressed against England 'A' in the same year.  Has achieved a couple of notable firsts for Bangladeshi cricket: scored Bangladesh's first fifty in the Test arena after initially being left out of the Test squad, an omission which caused a public outcry and led to his hasty reinstatement.  In January 2001 he became the first Bangladeshi to hit a first-class double century.
Career highlights: 
  • 108 and 76 against Zimbabwe in the second TEST (November 2001) sharing a 122 second wicket partnership with Golla (80) in the second innings.

  • 71 and 30 against India in Bangladesh's inaugural Test in 2000 
  • 70 in ODI against Zimbabwe in 1997
  • 143*, 35 and 2/28 in first-class match against England 'A' in 1999
  • 224 in first-class match against Khulna in 2001
  • 57 in ODI against India in 2000
