The Early Days
The tall left armer was a big success with the ball in the U-19 Asia cup in 1989. There he took 3/44 against India, and 3/36 against Pakistan.
Impressed by his performances, the selectors quickly elevated him to the national squad. There, however, he struggled to hold his place, as Bangladesh already had two other left arm seamers, Gholam Nousher Prince and Jahangir Alam Talukdar Dulu. Anis' career was also hampered by injuries and No-Ball problem. Still, he briefly emerged in 1994, following the retirement of Prince and Dulu, as the country's top pace bowler.
