The Bangladeshi cricket team,
also known as "The Tigers", is a national
cricket team representing Bangladesh. It is
administered by the Bangladesh Cricket Board
(BCB).
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 cricket
playing nation.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (known then as
the Bangladesh Cricket Control Board) was
established in 1972. Soon after, a cricket
league commenced in Dhaka and Chittagong. A
national level cricket tournament begun in
the country in 1974-75. During this time the
cricket league started at the district
(regional) level. Other tournaments that
were organised were aimed school, college,
youth and university level.
Bangladesh's first official foray into
international cricket came in the 1979 ICC
Trophy in England, leaving the tournament
with 2 wins and 2 defeats. Seven years
later, on March 31 1986, Bangladesh played
in its first One Day International match
against Pakistan in the 1986 Asia Cup.
Cricket has gradually become very popular in
urban areas of the country. Although
football was the most popular game for a
long time, cricket gained a momentum and
soon surpassed football, especially after
Bangladesh won the ICC Trophy in Malaysia in
1997. By winning the ICC trophy, the Tigers
had qualified for the 1999 Cricket World Cup
for the first time. Bangladesh performed
admirably in the 7th World Cup and caused an
upset by defeating Pakistan in a group phase
match. In 1997, Bangladesh became a regular
ICC member with the right to play one-day
internationals. It attained the status of a
test playing country on 26 June 2000.
At the end of 2007, Bangladesh had played in
49 Tests, winning only once against a
Zimbabwe team crippled by the exodus of its
white players. They have lost 43 of their
matches, and 29 of these by an innings.
Bangladesh's performance has led to repeated
calls for them to lose their Test status. |
