Cricket in 2018: Flop Test XI of the year
Following is the list of eleven prominent cricketers who disappointed with their performances in 2018.
9. Mustafizur Rahman (Bangladesh)
The Bangladeshi pace bowler created a niche for himself in white-ball cricket with his clever pace variations but Mustafizur has not been the same force in Test cricket. While he remained a mainstay for Bangladesh in ODIs and T20Is, he failed to impress in red-ball cricket. 2018 proved to be disappointing for the left-arm seamer.
The Fizz was selected to play in four Tests and he ended his stint with just seven wickets. All four Tests were played on turning tracks and it proved to be the pain point for the 23-year-old. He began the year with a toiling spell of 113/1 against Sri Lanka. In the following Dhaka Test, Rahman picked five wickets and it remained his best performance. In the Chittagong Test versus Windies, he bowled only four overs in all.
Matches: 4, Innings: 7, Wickets: 7, Bowling average: 38.71, Best bowling innings: 3/49
