An exciting left-handed all-rounder who made an instant impact on his debut, Monimul Haque has been a hitter in the middle-order for Bangladesh and can be the all-rounder to step in Shakib-Al-Hasan's place when the time comes.

He was called up as Shakib's replacement in the first 2 ODIs against the WIndies in November 2012.

He later went on to score his ton off 100 balls against New Zealand. More suited to the longest format, Haque is yet to establish a spot in the playing XI of the limited overs.
