This is regarded as a notable achievement, [2] and as of July 2021 only 49 players have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls at international level in their cricketing careers. [3] Shakib Al Hasan, a slow left-arm orthodox spinner, represents the Bangladesh national cricket team.

[7]
Shakib's first five-wicket haul came against New Zealand during the first Test of the 2008–09 home series; he took seven wickets for 36 runs in New Zealand's first innings. As of March 2023, it remains his best bowling figures in Test cricket. He ended the year with three more five-wicket hauls, which came in consecutive innings against South Africa and Sri Lanka. [8] In Test cricket, he is among the four bowlers who have taken five-wicket hauls against all Test-playing nations. [a] [10]
