Shakib will be an important player for Bangladesh with the bat and ball

The all-rounder will be the key for Bangladesh just because of his sheer experience at International level. One of the best cricketers to come from the country, Shakib will be expected to don the role of mentor to many of the younger players. His quickish left arm spin and formidable batting in the middle order would prove to be a thorn in England’s attempt to snatch the series.

He is particularly impressive against spinners and his resilience is unquestionable and should play a part in deciding this series. His batting average at home, which is 42.57, is much better than his overall average of 39.76.

With England players considered average against spin bowlers, Shakib will be expected to put in a lot of overs.
