Highly rated 19 year old Haseeb Hameed was a surprise inclusion in Alastair Cook's 17-man squad for England's tour of Bangladesh last week. Making his case at the MA Aziz Stadium in Chittagong, Hameed staked his claim through his long stay in the middle, as he battedfor over four hours in two stints.
Making 57 off 125 balls, the teen fought through phases against both pace and spin. He showed self-discipline showcasing his character, though the morning session, before playing more expansively later during the afternoon. Born to Indian parents originally from Bharuch, Gujarat, Hameed made it to the team after his rather impressive performance in the County Championship this season.
