Shakib does it all for the Bangladeshi

Bangladesh’ s Shakib Al Hasan will go down as one of the greatest all-rounders ever with his exploits in all three formats. He is the poster boy for a Bangladeshi side that is evolving from underachievers to a very solid cricket team.

It was a special year for Shakib and his team as they hosted the Asia Cup and performed admirably well, losing the finals to India. He had over 250 runs and 20 wickets, highlighting his importance in this format. While his contributions with the bat were appreciated, his performances with the ball was what often made the difference for his side.
