Wisden overview
Tapash Baisya, along with Mashrafee-bin-Murtoza and Talha Jubair, is one of the young quicks thrown in at the deep end as Bangladesh struggle to come to terms with their Test status. He was just 19 years old when he made his debut in the second Test against Sri Lanka in 2002, and though his bowling was understandably nervy, he soon demonstrated his temperament with a composed half-century from No. 9 - his highest score in two years of first-class cricket. Tall and wiry, with a busy run-up and a slingy action, Tapash cut his teeth against the Australian Academy in 2001, and has the potential to build on his basic speed. Andrew Miller
