Bangladesh’s left-handed batter, Mominul Haque, surpassed legendary batter Tamim Iqbal to become the second-highest run-scorer for his country in men’s Test cricket.
The milestone was achieved on the opening day of Bangladesh’s first Test against Australia at Marrara Oval. Haque entered the match with 5,131 runs in 145 innings and needed just four runs to go past Iqbal’s tally and into second place on Bangladesh’s all-time list of most runs scored by a batter in Test matches.
