ODI debut: 2/12/02
Past World Cups: -
Right-arm off-spin bowler
The young opener timed his run into the squad to perfection.
Coming in to the one-day squad for his debut in December's home series against the West Indies, Haque was all but assured a World Cup berth.
The selectors have high hopes for the youngster and would have preferred him to have made more of an immediate impact.
But despite the disappointment in his return in that series and his sole Test appearance, they have kept their faith in him.
That is partly due to the fact that Haque may be able to add something to the bowling attack, if only by getting through a few overs a match.
But more pertinently it is because Bangladesh are building for the future and the opener has been identified as key to the team's development.
