Nazmul Islam's signature "snake dance" made him popular at the time of his Bangladesh debut in 2018, but there is more than just a unique celebration about this smart left-arm spinner.

After making his first-class debut in 2010 at the age of just under 19, Nazmul had to take the long route to the senior side, compared to how many of Bangladesh cricketers stay in the BCB's system from the age-group playing years. His breakthrough season was 2013-14 when he took 31 wickets in the National Cricket League. However, he was always behind other left-arm spinners like Abdur Razzak, Enamul Haque jnr and Saqlain Sajib in the pecking order.

Nazmul had to rely on the BPL editions to remain in the eye of selectors. His 12 wickets in the 2017 edition finally caught the attention and he was given a call-up to Bangladesh's T20I squad in February 2018. Although he didn't pick up as many wickets initially, the Bangladesh think-tank understood his effectiveness.

It earned him a place in Bangladesh's ODI squad for the first time, in the Asia Cup in September, with his debut coming against Afghanistan during the Super Fours stage.
