Javed Omar Belim Golla
Career  Sketch by Miran Rahman

An opening batsman and good inside-the-ring fielder who's international career was initially aided by injuries to Shahriar and Mehrab Hussein but should now be persuading the selectors to consider him on a more regular, automatic basis. 

Although he opened for a couple of seasons with the cavalier Indian batsman Raman Lamba, Javed's batting is based more on solid defence and patience, attributes which often appear to be missing from the game of his more attacking colleagues. 

After grinding out a few thirties against England and West Indies 'A' in 1998 and two first-class half centuries against England 'A' and the West Indies in 1999, he demonstrated his ability to play a few shots against England in the 2000 ICC knockout tournament.  Was probably unlucky to miss out on being selected for Bangladesh's first Test but has responded well with a fine, debut domestic first-class season.

Career highlights: 
  • 80 from 322 balls against Zimbabwe in the second TEST (November 2001), sharing a 122 second wicket partnership with Sumon (76) in the second innings.
  • 62 and 85* against Zimbabwe on his test debut.
  • 54 in ODI against Zimbabwe (November 2001) sharing a 103 run first wicket partnership with Rokon (59)
  • 69 in ODI against Zimbabwe in 2001. Shared a 84 run (17 overs) third wicket partnership with Sumon (74)
  • 85* in ODI against Sri Lanka in 2000
  • 63* in ODI against England in 2000
  • 53 (twice) in first-class matches against England 'A' and West Indies in 1999
