Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam burst on to the one-day international cricket scene in a major way in December 2014.

The bowler made headlines around the world when he took a hat-trick in his ODI debut against Zimbabwe, becoming the first player to do so.

It followed strong performances against Zimbabwe in a Test series, including 8-39 in his third match – the best performance by a Bangladesh bowler in Tests.

Taijul’s international debut came after excellent domestic performances.
