==International career==
[[Zimbabwean cricket team in Bangladesh in 2004–05|Zimbabwe toured Bangladesh]] in January 2005 for two Tests and five ODIs. The touring Zimbabwe side had suffered due to player disputes which in 2004 had led to the ICC suspending the country from Test cricket. Of Zimbabwe's 16-man squad, only their captain [[Tatenda Taibu]] had played more than nine Tests; Bangladesh were the more experienced team. In the first match, Bangladesh secured their maiden victory in Test cricket.<ref name=zim05>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/288794.html |title=Bangladesh v Zimbabwe, 2004–05 |last=Shuvro |first=Utpal |date=4 April 2007 |publisher=Wisden Cricketers' Almanack |access-date=2011-02-14}}</ref> Having not taken a wicket in Zimbabwe's first innings, Enamul Haque's haul of 6/45 in the second helped his team to victory and set the record for best bowling figures for Bangladesh in Tests.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/145160.html |title=Enamul ends the long wait |first=Rabeed |last=Imam |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=10 January 2005 |access-date=2011-11-21}}</ref> The second Test ended in a draw, giving Bangladesh their first series win. In one innings Enamul Haque took 7/95, beating his own record for best bowling figures for Bangladesh,<ref name="zim05"/> and took 12/200 in the match, so that at the age of 18 years and 40 days he became the youngest bowler to take ten wickets in a Test, overtaking Pakistan's [[Wasim Akram]].<ref>{{citation |url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283789.html |title=Records / Test matches / Bowling records / Youngest player to take ten-wickets-in-a-match |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2011-11-21}}</ref>

Enamul Haque returned to the ODI side in 2009 after a gap of three years when he was selected in the squad to face Zimbabwe in three matches and a tri-series with Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. He was selected in the absence of first-choice veteran spinner [[Abdur Razzak (cricketer)|Abdur Razzak]] and because he had a good record against Zimbabwe.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/tri-bdesh/content/story/385652.html |title=Shahadat and Kayes dropped for ODIs |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=7 January 2009 |access-date=2011-06-19}}</ref> Zimbabwe [[Zimbabwean cricket team in Bangladesh in 2009–10|toured Bangladesh]] in October for five ODIs.
