Shakib Al Hasan is a Bangladeshi international cricketer. He is an all-rounder , batting left-handed in the middle-order and bowling slow left-arm orthodox. He represented Bangladesh at under-19 level , 18 Youth One Day Internationals between 2005 and 2006. Shakib made his One Day International (ODI) debut against Zimbabwe in August 2006, and his Test debut on 18 May against India. During a match against New Zealand in
2008 , Shakib took the best bowling figures by a Bangladesh player in
Tests , 7 wickets for 37 runs. Until then , Shakib had been considered
more of a batsman than a bowler , although still an all-rounder. From January 2009 to April 2011 , Shakib was ranked first amongst ODI all-rounders by the ICC. In December 2011, he became the world's top-ranked all-rounder at both Test and ODI levels.
Shakib was appointed Bangladesh's vice-captain in June 2009 when Mashrafe Mortaza replaced Mohammad Ashraful as captain. During Bangladesh's tour of the West Indies the following month , Mortaza injured himself and Shakib took over the captaincy. He was 22 years old at the time. Initially a temporary position until Mortaza recovered, Shakib's success against the West Indies , securing his side's first overseas series win, ensured he retained the position.He was named The Wisden Cricketer's ''Test Player Of The Year'' in November 2009. In July 2010, he stepped down from the ODI captaincy to concentrate on his personal performance. Mortaza took over until injury struck again and Shakib was asked to assume the role. Domestically he has represented Khulna Division since 2004 and in 2010 he spent several months playing for Worcestershire in England , becoming the first Bangladeshi player to represent an English country. For the 2011 Indian Premire League, Shakib was contracted by Kolkata Knight Riders. He was relieved from captaincy in September 2011.
