Biography
Young Saif Hassan grabbed headlines when he became the youngest Bangladesh player to notch up a First-class double century during the 2018-19 season. Having got into the domestic circuit from the National U19 setup, Saif has been a rising star, churning out consistent performances season after season. A solid right-hander who opens the batting, Saif has clearly shown all the qualities that are necessary to succeed at the highest level if and when he gets the opportunity. Having said that, he still quite raw and would need a bit more grooming before he can be unleashed in international cricket. Saif was picked in the squad for the Test tour of India in late 2019 but didn't get a game, with injury also compounding his misery. It's still early days for Saif who will probably have to play second fiddle to Shadman Islam as far as the race to be Tamim Iqbal's opening partner is concerned. Nevertheless, Saif could be a future superstar if he is handled with care.
