Wisden overview
Sanwar Hossain is the Stuart Law of Bangladeshi cricket. He caught the selectors' eye in 1994 by scoring a mature 76 against Sri Lanka A, but his international opportunities were strictly rationed thereafter ­ five inglorious outings in the ICC Trophy of 1997, and a handful of matches against India and Pakistan the following year. A crease-occupier in principle, it was only when the middle-order stalwarts Akram Khan and Aminul Islam were dropped for the home one-dayers against Zimbabwe in 2001-02 that Sanwar earned a second chance. He is an increasingly useful offspinner, though his maiden over in international cricket was nothing of the sort - it went for 17 runs.
