Shoriful had received an offer from Kent earlier this month after fellow Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud joined the county side. Kent had planned to play Shoriful in the four County Championship matches.
However, Shoriful Islam has been asked to stay away from county games for now after the recent tours of Australia and Zimbabwe. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has reportedly refused to give Islam the No-Objection Certificate (NOC) to play in the County Championship.
With Shoriful unavailable, Kent is expected to sign another Bangladeshi pacer, Khaled Ahmed, as his replacement for those County Championship matches. So, Khaled is now in line to become the latest Bangladesh fast bowler to play County cricket in England.
Historic seven-wicket haul for Shoriful Islam
The 25-year-old pacer destroyed Australia’s batting attack in the second Test at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay. He finished with outstanding figures of 7/48 from 15 overs as Australia were bowled out for 210 in their first innings.
Shoriful Islam joins rare club of left-arm pacers
Islam’s seven-wicket haul placed him on a very special list. The previous left-arm fast bowler to take seven wickets in a Test innings against Australia was England’s Dick Barlow, who claimed 7/44 in the second innings of the Manchester Test in July 1886.
Shoriful is now only the fourth left-arm fast bowler to take seven wickets in a Test innings against Australia. However, the best figures by any left-arm bowler against Australia belong to England spinner Hedley Verity, who took 8/43 at Lord’s in 1934.
The overall record still belongs to England legend Jim Laker, who produced the famous 10/53 against Australia in Manchester in 1956, taking all 10 wickets in the second innings.
