Profile

With just five first-class matches in his kitty, Shahriar Nafees was pushed into the Test squad for Bangladesh’s first tour of England at the tender age of 19. The tour was a learning experience for the youngster then, watching the settled opening pair of Nafees Iqbal and Javed Omar in action. 

Shahriar made his Test debut in 2005 against Sri Lanka and got some decent starts. But in 2006, he converted a simple start into what became his maiden first-class as well as Test ton, coming against Australia. He continued to show flashes of brilliance with his fine knocks and subsequently earned the position of the vice-captain for the Champions Trophy. He scored a century against Zimbabwe, but failed against bigger oppositions. However, he was imperative in Bangladesh’s 5-0 whitewash over Zimbabwe in late 2006. Shahriar joined the rebel league in 2008 and was handed a 10-year ban by the Bangladesh Cricket Board. But, he cancelled the contract the following year, making himself available for national selection. Shahriar was then recalled in January 2010 for the home Tri-series.
