List of Bangladesh cricketers who have taken five-wicket hauls on Test debut explained

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five–for" or "fifer")[1] [2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[3] To date, 170 cricketers have taken a five-wicket haul on debut in a Test match,[4] with eight of them being taken by cricketers representing Bangladesh.[5]

They have taken a five-wicket haul on debut against four different opponents with West Indies being the most frequent opponent. Five-wicket haul were taken five times against the West Indies side. The other three times this incident occurred against three different sides; one each against England, India and Zimbabwe.[6] Of the eight occasions the Bangladesh won the match only twice and drew once. The other five were lost.[7] [8] [9] Both the wins and the only draw came against the West Indian cricket team.[10] [11]

The players have taken five-wicket hauls at five different venues.[12] Five of them came in Bangladesh[13] and the other three came in overseas.[14] The most common venue for a Bangladesh player to achieve the feat is Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram, where it has occurred three times.[12] Among the three hauls occurred overseas, two of them took place at Arnos Vale Stadium, Kingstown in West Indies. The other one came at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo in Zimbabwe.[15]

Naimur Rahman took a five-wicket haul in the first test Bangladesh played against India in 2000, making him the first debutant for Bangladesh to take a five-wicket haul. He took six wickets for 132 runs in India's first innings.[16] [5] Along with Rahman, a total of five players have taken six wickets at debut.[17] The other four players are Mohammad Manjural Islam, Elias Sunny, Sohag Gazi and Mehidy Hasan.[18] Three players have taken five wickets at debut.[19] Among the players Nayeem Hasan is the youngest bowler for Bangladesh to take a five wicket haul for Bangladesh.[20] [21]

Sohag Gazi holds the best figure in an innings by a debutant Bangladeshi bowler with his 6 wickets for 74 runs against West Indies.[22] Gazi also holds the record for best bowling figure in a match with 9 wickets for 219 runs.[23] Mehidy Hasan was the most economical debutant to take five-wicket haul, taking 6 wickets for 80 runs against England at a economy rate of 2.00 runs per over.[24] [25] Mahmudullah Riyad has the best average.[25] He took 5 wickets for 51 runs at an average of 10.20 runs per wicket.[26] Nayeem Hasan accounted the best strike rate.[27] His strike rate was 16.8 when he took 5 wickets in 14 overs against West Indies.[28] The most recent bowler to achieve the feat was Nayeem Hasan in November 2018.[5]
