Shafiul made his debut in 2010 and injuries to Mashrafe Mortaza led him to establish himself as a key member of Bangladesh's pace attack. Among the quicker bowlers in the country, Shafiul finished the year with 32 wickets from 23 games at an average of 31.56. He is currently their preferred seamer along with Rubel Hossain in the XI.
Strengths
He can be quite nippy and can move the ball around early on in the innings. However, he hasn't been all that effective in checking the scoring, going for 6.27 an over.
Key stats
All stats updated till before the start of the 2011 World Cup.
World Cup tracker
This will be Shafiul's first World Cup.
Expert view
"Right arm, lanky fast medium bowler. A very good find, initially selected when he became the highest wicket taker in a domestic season and has impressed everyone since then. Started opening the bowling after Mashrafe got injured and has been consistently taking wickets"- Athar Ali Khan, former Bangladesh batsman
