In the second Test of the current series, Bangladeshi bowler Nahid Rana scored a critical four-for, which enabled the visitors to limit Pakistan to 172 runs in the second innings. Additionally, it offered Bangladesh the chance to triumph in the game and end the Test series with Pakistan.
Known for his explosive pace, Rana tore through the middle order, taking important wickets of Abrar Ahmed, Shan Masood, Babar Azam, and Saud Shakeel. In addition to being quite effective with the red ball, he frequently caused Mohammad Rizwan problems while he was in the crease.
Nahid Rana was observed putting in a lot of practice in the nets prior to the trip to Pakistan.
He then disclosed that he bowled eight overs in the heat to improve his reverse swing while he was exercising by himself. The 21-year-old isn’t afraid to put in a lot of work. In fact, when discussing that, his coach Talha Jubair of the Bangladesh Premier League and Dhaka Premier League said that the pacer has the motivation and that he should do well for the national squad.
He does possess that drive. I’ve known him since quite the early days, and without that, he would not have made it to this point. Word for word, he handled every detail I requested him to, Talha said to The Daily Star.
You must allow him to bowl quickly: Talha Jubair
Rana has a reputation for bowling several no-balls when playing at the U19 level. He was excluded from the U19 World Cup due to the same, according to a report. After working with him to resolve the problem, Nahid’s local coach Alamgir Kabir from Chapainawabganj was able to assist him break into the national team.
“I asked Alamgir bhai to focus solely on his run-up by sending him films to practice on. In the future, his fluid motion will enable him to bowl faster, but accuracy will be the deciding factor.

He’s still quite young. He won’t be Rana if you order him to bowl at a faster speed instead than controlling runs. You need to give him room to bowl slowly. You cannot instruct him to bowl more slowly and to become accurate at a faster pace. While we were both working at BPL, I advised him to talk about his lengths rather than compromising on pace. I spoke with Talha about the need for his lengths to be fuller because he has more bounce.
