Of the 36 Tests that Shakib has played Bangladesh have lost 25, but that hasnt dampened his spirits, or resulted in his performances getting diminished. Shakib has been a star performer almost from the time he started playing for Bangladesh, but he has turned it up a few notches in the last four years. Since the beginning of 2011, in 15 Tests Shakib has averaged almost 50 with the bat, and 31.30 with the ball, which are exceptional all-round numbers. Its true that during this period he has mostly played at home - 12 out of 15 Tests have been in Bangladesh - and its also true that he hasnt played some of the top teams - none of those 15 Tests have been against Australia, South Africa, or England - and yet these are numbers that cant be ignored. In these last four years, he has played two Tests each against Pakistan, Sri Lanka and New Zealand, and averages more than 50 with the bat against each of them; in four games against West Indies he averages 53.28. His poorest batting average is in fact against Zimbabwe (38.60 in five Tests). The bowling stats are boosted by his numbers against Zimbabwe - 25 wickets at 20.12 - but against better batting sides too he has been consistent. Shakib Al Hasans Test career Period Runs Averag
