Profile:
As a left-hand opening batsman, Shahriar Nafees is a rarity among Bangladesh cricketers. He has the right mixture of talent and temperament. In April 2006 he exploded in sensational fashion against the might of Australia, stroking his way to a brilliant hundred, his maiden first-class ton as well as his first in Tests, at Fatullah. Nafees was appointed vice-captain for the Champions Trophy in India in October with the view of grooming a successor for Habibul Bashar. He also won the Bangladesh's cricketer-of-the-year award for 2006. He proved that the accolade wasn't wasted on him by scoring a hundred against Zimbabwe but failed against tougher opposition in the Champions Trophy. His batting was instrumental in Bangladesh's 5-0 rout over Zimbabwe in December 2006.
Expectation of him in World Cup:
A first timer, this world cup would be a real test to Nafees. With the responbility of an batsman and Vice – Captain,the Bangladesh tem would be hoping that he would be able to put up some heroic performances and steer his team into the ROUND 2 of the World Cup.
