KHULNA – Debutant Abul Hasan stunned West Indies with an electrifying unbeaten century as Bangladesh produced an incredible rally on the opening day of the second cricket Test at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium yesterday.
The 20-year-old finished the day on an even hundred, a knock that propelled Bangladesh to 365 for eight after the innings lay in virtual ruins at 193 for eight.
He rewrote the history books to become only the second Test debutant in over a hundred years to make a century batting at No. 10, an achievement that overshadowed fast bowler Fidel Edwards’ 12th five-wicket haul.
Abul shared an unbroken ninth-wicket stand of 172 with Mahmudullah, whose 72 not out was equally entertaining.
