Dhaka: Bangladesh's teenage spin sensation Mehedi Hasan is to have a new home built for him on the orders of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after his match-winning heroics in the historic Test victory over England.


The 19-year-old off-spinner took 12 wickets in the second Test as Bangladesh wrapped up a 108-run victory in Dhaka on Sunday. Hasan had been living with his parents in a basic home in a working-class district of Khulna but Hasina told local authorities to build something more befitting a national hero.


"We are now trying to find a good spot to build Mehedi a new home following the Prime Minister's directive," Khulna district administrator Nazmul Ahsan said.
