Bangladesh v Australia - 1st Test: Day 4

Bangladesh’s greatest all-rounder took over as temporary captain after captain Mashrafe Murtaza got injured in the West Indies tour in 2009 and in his very first Test, he led his nation to a memorable series winning victory.

However, it was all downhill from there on in as he failed to lead the side to another victory over the next two years. Losses to New Zealand, India and home and away to England soon raised questions about his captaincy. However, it was the loss to a depleted Zimbabwe side away from home that finally prompted the selectors to sack him.

Although his stint turned out to be a poor one, his success in the West Indies will always be in the memory of all Bangladesh fans.
