Wisden overview
A dashing striker of the ball, Tushar Imran established himself as one of the rising stars of Bangladesh cricket at the age of just 17, when he cracked 131 from 106 balls in a domestic league match in 2000-01 - the same season in which his country was granted Test status. His one-day debut came the following year against Zimbabwe, and when new blood was demanded to help revive Bangladesh's flagging Test fortunes, he was thrust into the fray against Sri Lanka in July 2002. He struggled, making 8 and 28 in a 288-run defeat, but the selectors clearly believed he had what it takes - three former captains, Naimur Rahman, Akram Khan and Aminul Islam, were axed to make way for him. By his own admission he can be too impetuous for his own good, and though his ODI appearances continued to tick over, his Test career stalled after three fruitless outings. But the Bangladesh A tour of England in the summer of 2005 provided an opportunity to forge a second coming, and after impressing in patches - not least with a run-a-ball 70 against Surrey - he returned to the squad for the tour of Sri Lanka that September.Andrew Miller
