Profile
Nazmul Hossain has an angular delivery style pretty similar to that of
Makhaya Ntini but not as quick. He was the top wicket-taker among
Bangladeshi pacemen in the last Under-19 World Cup but his deeds probably
did not get the attention they deserved because of all the oohs and aahs
Shahadat Hossain Rajib was evoking for his hostility. Nazmul is an honest
bowler who sticks to an off-stump line with the natural angle taking the
ball in. But the dengerous one is the delivery which straightens or just
moves a shade away - batsmen don't expect that from a bowler with his kind
of action. He made his Test debut in the second Test against India at Chittagong in December 2004 but hasn't been picked since. He is still a student of the BKSP, Bangladesh's academy, where many felt that as he had the ability to move the ball, he would have been ideal for the Test matches in England. At the moment, Nazmul is considered an ODI specialist and has not shown any nerves in the games he had played - a quality evident in most of Richard McInness' pupils. He has also picked up quite a few wickets in ODIs since making his debut in the Champions Trophy in England last year. This is his third trip to England. His father, an army man, was a former Bangladesh
international in football. Rabeed Imam June 2005
