Bangladesh fast bowler Nahid Rana is a tall bowler, whose height is 6 feet 5 inches. This 23 year old young bowler has impressed a lot with his bowling so far. He took 4 wickets in the first match of the ODI series against Australia, but he came into the news the most because of the second match. Although he did not take any wicket in this, but it was claimed on social media that he made the record of bowling the fastest ball in ODI cricket by bowling the ball at a speed of 158.4 km/h.

Although this claim was completely false, the speed of the ball in question was 133 km/h. But the interesting thing is that even if Nahid Rana had bowled at a speed of 158.4 km/h, he would not have been the fastest bowler in ODIs. He is not even in the top-3. In such a situation, let us tell you who are included in the top-5 list of bowlers who bowled the fastest balls in ODIs.

Bangladesh cricket team has suffered a big setback before the ODI series against Australia. The team’s fast bowling coach Shaun Tait has resigned from his post. He has taken this decision to spend more time with family and children.

Former Australian fast bowler Tait joined the Bangladesh team about a year ago. His contract was to continue till next year, but he decided to step down giving priority to personal responsibilities. Tate says that the last 12 months have been very good for him and he has spent many memorable moments working with the players.

He said in his statement that the time spent with Bangladesh Cricket Board and the national team was extremely satisfying. He developed strong relationships with the players and found great joy in working with a group of fast bowlers. He also said that the possibility of re-associating with Bangladesh cricket in future cannot be ruled out.

There was improvement in the performance of Bangladesh’s fast bowlers during Tait’s tenure. The recent 2-0 win in the Test series against Pakistan was one of the team’s major achievements. During this period, fast bowlers played an important role and contributed to the team’s victory in many matches.

Shaun Tait has previously worked with Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh Premier League teams. Now after his resignation, Bangladesh Cricket Board has started searching for a new bowling coach. According to reports, former fast bowler Talha Zubair is considered to be the main contender for this role, and he may get the responsibility in the Australia series.

The three-match ODI series between Australia and Bangladesh will start from June 9 in Dhaka. In such a situation, this change is definitely challenging for the team, but the board will hope that the players will reduce the impact of this shock with their performance on the field.
