Naeem Islam Biography
A representative of Bangladesh’s 2004 Under-19 World Cup, Naeem Islam made a hurried entry in international cricket after the ICL robbed Bangladesh several of its key players.
A top order batsman and a part time off break bowler, the Gaibandha born youngster made his Test and ODI debut in the home series against New Zealand in 2008 but some lack lustre performances soon after saw him dropped from the Test arena though he continued featuring in ODIs. He played his first innings of note in the fifth ODI against Zimbabwe in 2009 where with an unbeaten 73, he guided Bangladesh to a one wicket victory.
Though he is a big hitter of the cricket ball, the right hander has often been criticised for getting bogged down and for his poor shot selection. However Bangladesh’s selectors continue to persist with him in a hope that he will eventually come good.
Fast Facts
He was part of the Bangladesh team which won the Plate Championship in the 2004 Under-19 World Cup.
He captained on Bangladesh’s Academy Tour of Sri Lanka in 2008 and led the run charts with 304 runs at an average of 43.42.
Named ‘Chokka (sixer) Nayeem’ after hitting six sixes in an over in a club match
