BBC on Mohammad Ashraful

Mohammad Ashraful, 18, Bangladesh

In Bangladesh's last one-day series - at home against West Indies - Ashraful twice top-scored in the three matches.

That really showed up the myopic attitude of the Bangladeshi selectors, who dropped him for a while last year.

It's not every day that a kid not far past his 17th birthday hits a century in his debut Test match. But that's what Ashraful did, against Sri Lanka in September 2001.

He may also be called upon to bowl his leg-spin, which has so far been on the expensive side.

P.S. Congratulations to Ashraful for being the top scorer of Bangladesh innings, once again.
