Early life

Nahid grew up in Chapai Nawabganj district, and started playing cricket in 2020.[3] After passing his Higher Secondary School Certificate in 2020, he started training at a cricket academy in Rajshahi.[4] Initially, he used to be a net bowler for the Rajshahi Division batters and then impressed the selectors by his high-speed bowling.[5]

Domestic career

Nahid made his first-class debut on 31 October 2021, for Rajshahi Division in the 2021–22 National Cricket League.[6] On 31 October 2022, he claimed his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, against Barishal Division in the 2022–23 National Cricket League.[7] He was the second highest-wicket taker in the tournament, picking up 32 wickets.[8] In January 2023, he was selected to play for Khulna Tigers in the 2022–23 Bangladesh Premier League.[9] He made his Twenty20 debut on 24 January 2023, for Khulna Tigers in that tournament.[10] In his debut match, he took 1 wicket conceding 20 runs from 4 overs,[11] and grabbed everyone's attention by constantly bowling around 140-150 km/h.[12][13] He made his List A debut on 21 March 2023, for Shinepukur Cricket Club in the 2022–23 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League.[14]

International career

In September 2023, he was named in Bangladesh's squad for the 2023 Asian Games.[15] In March 2024, he earned his maiden call-up to the Bangladesh's Test squad for their series against Sri Lanka.[16] He made his Test debut for Bangladesh on 22 March 2024, against Sri Lanka.[17] During the 2nd Innings of Pakistan of 2nd Test, Nahid Rana bowled 152.0 KPH, the fastest ball delivered by a Bangladeshi pacer in international cricket. He bowled 73% of his deliveries above 140 KPH that series.[18][19] He also took 4 wickets in the second innings to essay a historic win for Bangladesh.[20]

Before the series, Rana had played only one Test, making his debut in March this year against Sri Lanka in Sylhet. And during the just-concluded series, the 21-year-old consistently clocked speeds of over 150 km/h. His bounce and pace proved challenging for experienced players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who struggled to handle the deliveries from the six feet three inches tall pacer from Rajshahi.
