Taskin Ahmed

Taskin Ahmed Biography

By the time he had made his ODI debut at 19, Taskin Ahmed was already a big name, thanks to his stupendous performance for Bangladesh Under-19s against England in 2012. For a country that has almost never produced a tearaway fast bowler, young Taskin brought a gust of fresh air and gave hopes to the hearts of millions of fans.

Taskin generates deceptive pace and substantial bounce, thanks to his tall frame, broad shoulders, and a rhythmic run-up that can easily be called a connoisseur’s delight. He was a sensation the moment he arrived, becoming the first Bangladesh bowler to take a five-for on ODI debut, beating the Indians by pace and surprising them with the extra bounce.

Unfortunately, persistent injuries have kept Taskin away from a long international run. He kept popping in and out of the national side, making appearances only in bursts. A big blow came in the 2016 World T20, when he was suspended for a suspect action. He was later cleared.

He made his Test debut in early 2017, against New Zealand, but made little impact.

Unlike some others, Taskin never compromised on his academics. A student of Stamford College, he later went to American International University of Bangladesh.
