Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe Test series: 5 Key players for Bangladesh

#4 Mehidy Hasan

Mehidy Hasan was an under-19 star

Mehidy Hasan is one of the brightest young players in Bangladesh cricket. He had a dream Test debut at the age of just 19 against England picking up a five-wicket haul in his very first inning.

He bettered his performance by taking two more five-wicket hauls in the second Test. He took 19 wickets in two games and was 'Man of the Series' in his debut series. Ever since that sensational start, he has been impressive in all formats of the game.

He is, in particular, very lethal in home conditions. Compared to his overall bowling average of 36.19, he takes a wicket at the expense of just 24.91 runs when he is bowling at home grounds.

The youngster will be leading the spin attack of the team given that Shakib is not there. The Zimbabwean batsmen are going to have a hard time facing his off-spin.

Mehidy Hasan in Tests:

Matches - 14, Runs - 362, Wickets - 58, Bowling Average - 36.19, 5W - 4, 10W -1
