Shakib Al Hasan was born on March 24, 1987, in Magura, Jessore, Bangladesh. He began his international career in 2006 and quickly established himself as a key player for Bangladesh. His Test debut came in 2007 against India, followed by a breakthrough performance in 2008 against New Zealand where he made 71 runs and took 7 for 36 wickets, a significant achievement for a Bangladeshi bowler at the time. The following year, he captained Bangladesh to their first overseas series victory against a weakened West Indies side, taking eight wickets and scoring an unbeaten 96 runs in a successful chase. Known for his consistent performance, Shakib has spent extensive periods ranked at the top of the ICC’s all-rounder rankings across all formats, a clear indication of his value in international cricket. He is the first and only cricketer to be ranked as the number one all-rounder by the ICC in all three formats of the game in 2015. He also holds the record as the fastest player to achieve 5000 runs and 250 wickets in ODIs and is the first and only all-rounder to have 100 wickets and 1,000 runs in men’s T20Is.
Throughout his career, Shakib has celebrated numerous achievements in franchise cricket. He was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders teams that won the Indian Premier League titles in 2012 and 2014. In the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), he set a record in 2013 with figures of 6 for 6 against Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel, marking the second-best bowling figures in T20 cricket. He also secured two BPL titles with Dhaka sides, once as a player in 2013 and again as captain in 2016. In 2019, he became the first player in BPL history to take 100 wickets and secured a CPL championship with the Barbados Tridents. In a notable milestone in 2025, while playing for the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, he dismissed Mohammad Rizwan to achieve his 500th T20 wicket, becoming the fifth bowler and first left-arm off-spinner to reach this milestone, and the first and only cricketer to secure the double of 500 wickets and 7,000 runs in T20 cricket history.
Shakib’s career has showcased both notable successes and periods of controversy. Despite facing a two-year ban from all international cricket in 2019 for failing to report a corrupt approach, he made a strong return to the sport. His record-breaking performance in the 2019 ODI World Cup, where he scored over 600 runs and took 11 wickets, solidified his status as a premier all-rounder. He officially retired from Tests and T20Is in September 2024, concluding an international career that includes over 14,000 runs and 700 wickets. Shakib remains Bangladesh’s greatest cricketer, holding numerous national records including being the only Bangladeshi bowler to take over 300 wickets in ODIs and the most runs and wickets in T20Is.
