Naeem Islam was drafted into the national team when Bangladesh suffered an exodus of players to the unauthorised ICL. He's a handy allrounder, batting at the top of the order and chipping in with his offspin. Though not a regular member of the Bangladesh team - he wasn't picked for the home series against New Zealand - he provides his team with an additional spin option should they opt to play an extra batsman.
Strengths
Naeem can be expected to restrict the run-flow in the middle overs and provide some solidity with the bat.

Expert view
"Another off spinner who bats right hand and is one of the best fielders in the side. Got 'Chokka' (6 in Bangla) as a nickname after he blasted 6 sixes in an over playing in a domestic match."- Athar Ali Khan, former Bangladesh batsman
