Bangla Cricket
|
The Bangladeshi cricket team is a national cricket team
representing Bangladesh. It is administrated by the Bangladesh Cricket
Board.
Bangladesh is a full member of the International Cricket Council with Test
and one-day international status. It played its first Test match in 2000
(against India at Dhaka), becoming the tenth Test nation.
Bangladesh's promotion to Test status was controversial, as many regarded
the team as too weak to compete against the established Test nations. The
fact that the team lost 31 of its first 34 Tests, including a record losing
streak of 21 games, has provided fodder for such criticism. The team came
tantalisingly close to winning a Test match a few times, but were denied
every time until January 2005, when they finally broke the jinx in their
35th attempt and scored their maiden Test victory in Chittagong against the
touring Zimbabwe team. Despite the long time taken for Bangladesh to
register its first Test win, New Zealand took decades before winning its
first Test, and has since flourished into one of the more powerful
Test-playing nations. |
