One of the finest cricketers to have ever played for Bangladesh, Shakib Al Hasan is undoubtedly one of the best and most experienced all-rounders in world cricket at the moment. The former Bangladeshi skipper is currently ranked second in the ODI rankings for all-rounders. Shakib is currently one of the most experienced members in the squad and is the batting mainstay for his side.

The left-arm spinner has 247 wickets from 195 games and has 5577 runs in ODIs under his belt. The middle-order batsman, with his experience, is expected to provide stability to the middle order and also carry his side over the finishing line, something his side has been guilty of not achieving. A blend of aggression and caution, Shakib has the right kind of game needed on English soil.

The mettle of giving wickets in the middle overs is hugely on Shakib and so far in his career, he has been quite successful in providing crucial breakthroughs in the middle overs. The same is expected from him in the upcoming World Cup, especially with the growing importance of picking wickets in the middle overs. Shakib will be one of the key to Bakeysadesh's success in the World Cup with his all-round abilities.
