- Mehedi Hasan Miraz (6/77 vs England, Dhaka)
Bangladesh, over the years, have made a habit of producing exciting and promising talents, from Mustafizur Rahman in 2015 to Mehedi Hasan Miraz in 2016. In the two-match series against England at home, the 19-year-old rookie made his Test debut at Chittagong and grabbed six-wickets. However, it was another six-fer in the second Test which welcomed appreciations from all playing nations.
Chasing 273, England were 100 for no loss, looking set to seal the series on foreign soil. Came in the off-spinner, who had Alastair Cook out three times in the series. Mehedi was all over them, trapping half a dozen scalps into his spin web. Following this, the visitors scripted their worst ever collapse in recent past, losing all ten wickets within 64 runs.
Courtesy Mehedi, Bangladesh registered a famous win over England and leveled the two-match series 1-1. He was also named as the Player-of-the-Series for picking up 19 wickets.
