Biography
Hannan Sarkar (Bengali: হান্নান সরকার) (born December 1, 1982, in Dhaka) is a Test cricketer for the Bangladesh cricket team. He made his Test debut aged only 19 as an opening batsman against Sri Lanka in July 2002, but he has not been selected for Bangladesh since playing against New Zealand in October 2004.
Along with Sunil Gavaskar, he holds the dubious distinction of being one of only two Test cricketers to be dismissed with the first delivery of a Test match on three occasions. His record is unique in that it was West Indian bowler Pedro Collins who claimed his wicket on each occasion, the second and third in consecutive matches at the end of May and beginning of June 2004.
