Dhaka, 10 Sep -Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan made an 

excellent debut for Surrey Cricket Club by taking four wickets against 
Somerset in an English County Cricket Championship match at Taunton.

Shakib bowled 33.5 overs to take four wickets for 97 runs as Somerset were 
dismissed for 317 after playing 95.5 overs. It meant Shakib bowled one third 
of Somerset's innings, which was the testament of his superb fitness.

Tom Banton scored 132 as Somerset were in position of dominance before Shakib 
intervened. Shakib though couldn't take the wicket of Banton but his 
controlled bowling gave the other bowlers of Surrey to dominate the Somerset. 

Shakib will play this only match in his only stint in English County 
Championship in this season. After this match, he will join the Bangladesh 
national team in India where they will play two Tests and three T20 
Internationals.
