BANGLADESH CRICKET

The Bangladesh national cricket team (Bengaliবাংলাদেশ জাতীয় ক্রিকেট দল) is a national cricket team representing Bangladesh. The team is administered by the Bangladesh Cricket Board(BCB). Bangladesh is a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) with Test and One Day International (ODI) status. It played its first Test match in 2000 against India in Dhaka, becoming the tenth Test cricket playing nation.

As of August 2011, Bangladesh has played 70 Tests, winning only 3. Its first victory was against Zimbabwe and the other two were against a West Indian team crippled by a players' strike. Of the 60 matches it has lost, 34 were by an innings. The lack of a first-class tournament in the country before it was granted Test status has been cited as one of the reason's for the side's struggle to adapt to the longest form of the game, and Bangladesh's performance has led to repeated calls for it to lose its Test status. The team has been more successful in ODIs, having won 70 of its 255 matches, and has also played 17 Twenty20 Internationals, winning four.
