Dubai, Feb. 19 -- As Bangladesh gears up for the ICC Champions Trophy against India, all eyes will be on 22-year-old pacer Nahid Rana, who has made a reputation as one of the fastest bowler in the game and the fastest from his country.

Nahid Rana is used to life in the fast lane. As a pace bowler capable of topping 150km/h, and a biker in his downtime, the 22-year-old seamer has generated plenty of attention over the last year. He has picked 20 wickets in six Tests at an average of over 36, while in three ODIs, he has four wickets at an average of 31.50.

He has clocked speeds never previously reached by Bangladeshi bowlers and earned the moniker as his country's fastest-ever bowler.

It is a rise made all the more impressive by the fact...
