Online Desk: Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan became only the second player from the country, after Tamim Iqbal, to have scored 7000 ODI runs as he reached the milestone in the first ODI of the three-match series against Ireland at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

The left-handed batter was 24 runs away from the landmark before the match and got there in the 20th over when he drove a full-length delivery down the ground for a single off the bowling of Curtis Campher. He achieved the feat in his 228th match while batting in his 216th innings, 12 more than the number of innings Tamim took to reach the milestone. Next in line to enter the 7000 club is Mushfiqur Rahim, who is 99 runs away.
