Nasir Hossain (born 30 November 1991) is a Bangladeshi cricketer. Hossain was part of the 13-man Bangladesh squad that played in the 2010 Asian Games in late November.^[1] The team played Afghanistan in the final and won by five wickets, securing the country's first gold medal at the Asian Games.^[2] He is an all-rounder and made his One Day International (ODI) debut on 14 August 2011 against Zimbabwe. Coming in with Bangladesh's score at 58 for 6, the 19-year-old Hossain top-scored for his side with 63 runs from 92 balls, lifting the score to 188. It was not enough, and Zimbabwe won by seven wickets.^[3] In the final game of the five-match series, Hossain accidentally injured Zimbabwe fast bowler Keegan Meth. Hossain drove a delivery from Meth straight back and the bowler was unable to get out of the way. He was struck in the mouth, knocking out four teeth.^[4] After losing the ODI series against Zimbabwe 3–2, Bangladesh hosted the West Indies in October for a T20I, three ODIs, and two Tests. In the second ODI scored his second half-century. He again came to the wicket with Bangladesh struggling and scored 50 from 54 deliveries.^[5] In the final match of the ODI series, which Bangladesh lost 2–1, Hossain took his first wickets in the format. His first was that of left-handed opening batsman Kieran Powell with a delivery that pitched on leg stump and spun to hit the off stump. On a turning pitch Hossain's two wickets for three runs (2/3) helped Bangladesh bowl West Indies out for 61, their second lowest score, and win the match.^[6]
