Tanzid Hasan became the first Bangladeshi cricketer to score a Test century on Australian soil, finishing his innings with 101 runs during the ongoing Test match in Darwin.
The 25-year-old opener reached his maiden Test fifty off 102 balls and survived a dropped catch by Steve Smith while batting on 61 before securing his historic milestone.
Tanzid's selection was backed by chief selector Habibul Bashar to provide an aggressive counter-attacking option, vindicating the team's decision to prioritize modern-day Test batting templates.
