Seems like our under 19 team has a leg spinner by the name of Jubair Hossain, who had a pretty good series against Sri Lanka.

One leg spinner could really improve Bangladesh's spin attack. We have half a dozen SLA's, one very talented OS. All we need is a leg spinner. Someone at the level of Cremer will do.
I think Cremer has a lot of talent, can turn the ball quite a bit like most leggies, and has a very good googly. But for some reason he has so far been distinctly ordinary. His stats against us are a bit inflated with his 4 for 4 mopping up the tail in the first Test.

The ZCF conscensus is that though talented, he bowls too slowly at international level. There were no guns so can't tell for sure, but I think that is a very good reason for not being affective. However, an additional 5-8 kph pace would probably reduce his turn.

Similar issues for Keegan Meth. He will get a few wickets against us in favorable conditions, but top teams will just ride his swing out. Although, the amount of swing he gets, even at 72 mph he could be a handful for top teams.
