BangladeshAsian Games Gold 2010 Guangzhou Team Mohammad Naeem Islam is an international cricketer from Bangladesh. He was born on 31 December 1986 in Gaibandha and is a right-handed batsman and occasional off break bowler. He made his debut for Rajshahi Division in 2004/05 and played through the 2006/07 season, after having represented the full range of Bangladesh representative youth teams and went on to make his international debut on 9 October 2008 against New Zealand. He has scored 3 first class centuries, up to the end of the 2006/07 season, with a best of 126 against Barisal Division and recorded 14 first class fifties. His best bowling, 3 for 63, came against Dhaka Division. He has also made 5 one day fifties.
International career
Following the exodus of 14 players to the Dhaka Warriors team of the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League, Bangladesh were forced to introduce new players. Naeem Islam was one of three uncapped players called into the Bangladesh squad for a series of three One Day Internationals (ODIs) against New Zealand in October 2008, shortly after the exodus. Chief selector Rafiqul Alam called Islam a "talented young batsman".[1] He played in all three matches in the series, although his first innings was not until the second match when he was run out without facing a ball.[2] Naeem top scored in the final match with an unbeaten 46 in Chittagong, although that was unable to prevent his side slumping to a 79-run loss.[3]
That was followed by his inclusion in the Test squad to face New Zealand in Chittagong,[4] where he made his Test debut, scoring 14 in the first innings and 19 in the second innings. However, on a turning track, he picked up his maiden Test wicket when he dismissed Daniel Flynn caught behind in New Zealand's first innings.[5]
Naeem was part of the 13-man Bangladesh squad that played in the 2010 Asian Games in late November.[6] They played Afghanistan in the final and won by five wickets, securing the country's first gold medal at the Asian Games.[7]
