Bangladesh star cricketer Shakib Al Hasan spent a great time on his debut for Surrey County Club, a traditional club of English cricket. Rangan made his Surrey debut against Somerset at Taunton on Monday (September 9) with 4 wickets. Somerset were bowled out for 317 in the first innings on the first day of the match. Shakib bowled best for Surrey with 4 wickets. His victim was 4 wickets for 97 runs in 33.5 overs.
In 2010, Shakib played in the English county as the first cricketer of Bangladesh. Played 8 first-class matches for Ostershire. Three years later he played for Leicestershire in the NatWest T20 Blast. One of the best all-rounders in the world returned to the county on Monday after a long break.
Surrey Director of Cricket Alec Stewart handed over the Surrey cap to Shakib before the start of the day’s play. Earlier, welcoming Shakib yesterday, he said, ‘When the opportunity came up…it was a very easy decision to sign Shakib Al Hasan.’
Shakib also held his own. Dhuthi took the first day to his own with brilliant bowling. In the 11th over of the match, Surrey captain Rory Barnes handed the ball to Shakib. Shakib bowled 10 consecutive overs in the first spell. His bowling spell was 10-3-29-0. The left-arm spinner was in control with the ball. The star player of Bangladesh kept the batsmen under pressure in tight bowling.
Shakib’s first spell stopped at 10 overs only to change ends. After changing the bowling end, Shakib got the ball again after two overs. He then bowled 18 consecutive overs until the tea break. At this time Saree got success by taking Shakib’s hand.
Shakib broke the 62-run partnership of Tom Abel and Tom Banton. His arm delivery breaks the stamp on the wicket after being bowled. Tom Abel, who scored 49 runs, returned to the dressing room after being bowled. Returned to the bowling in the third spell at the end of the day and took 3 quick wickets. Casey Aldridge bowled and Craig Overton stumped in the second over of the spell. Then in the last over of the day Brett Rundle fell victim to him. He was lbw as Shakib tasted the fourth wicket.
Shakib’s 33.5 overs is a big event in first-class cricket. Even in the five-day match, Shakib was not seen doing so much with the ball. Best bowler of the team as a reward for good bowling. The superstar of Bangladesh made his debut for Surrey.
