Bangladesh vs Australia 2017: 5 players to watch out for

#3) Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib AL Hasan has been one of the main reasons behind Bangladesh's rise in World Cricket over the years. Equally adept in batting, bowling and fielding, Shakib lends enormous balance to the side.

His slow left arm orthodox bowling will play a crucial role in this series against Australia. The Australian side have displayed their weakness against spin on previous tours to Sri Lanka and India. And Shakib will try to take full advantage of that with all his experience.

He will play a crucial role with the bat as well. He is Bangladesh's second highest run scorer just behind Tamim Iqbal and averages more than 40 with the bat and has an overseas double ton to his name also that he achieved in Wellington. Come 27th August, he will be playing his 50th Test match along with Tamim Iqbal and would look to make it a memorable outing with an excellent performance.
