Shakib Al Hasan, also known as Saqibul Hasan, (Bengali: সাকিব আল হাসান) (born March 24, 1987 in Rajshahi) is a Bangladeshi cricketer who made his One Day International debut against Zimbabwe in August 2006. He is a left handed middle order batsman and Slow left-arm orthodox bowler. He emerged from Bangladesh's only educational sports institution.

Hasan is a slow left-arm orthodox, who in only six first-class matches has already taken 28 wickets for his local team, Khulna Division. He has played in 12 under-19 ODIs for Bangladesh, taking 15 wickets and has shown a lot of potential for future success. He nabbed his first Test Cricket wicket against South African Cricket Team, bowling AB De Villiers.

Revealing his talent on his ODI debut with an undefeated 30*, Hasan is already becoming a key member to the Bangladesh squad. Averaging 47.75, he already has an undefeated 67* to his name, and provides great support to his teammates, like steadying the ship for his partner Shahriar Nafees to score a century.
