Mehrab Hossain jnr

Mehrab Hossain jnr is a left-handed middle-order batsman and handy slow left-arm orthodox bowler, making him a genuine allrounder. Mehrab was initially a part of Bangladesh's Under-19 and A team setup and captained the Bangladesh academy team on a tour of Pakistan. He made his international debut for Bangladesh during the 2006 Champions Trophy in India and started out as an opening batsman in the ODIs before dropping down the order. He scored a fighting 83 in only his second Test, against New Zealand in Chittagong. Still inexperienced at the Test level, he will be looking to seal his spot in the middle order.
