Bangladesh in world Cricket 🏏🇧🇩

There is no end to the curiosity in the world about Bangladesh cricket. This curiosity culminates in World Cup cricket. Cricket started in the subcontinent. Now, as a result of Bangladesh's participation in the Cricket World Cup, cricket fever has started in Bangladesh. Cricket was born in faraway Britain. The first mention of cricket in Britain is found in a text from the time of King Edward I, published in 1300 AD. There was a time when cricket was played only by the British, then the game spread to the huge British empire (colonies) by the hands of the British. Cricket was established and developed in the Indian subcontinent during the British rule. The establishment of the Calcutta Cricket Club in undivided Bengal in 1892 is a milestone in the history of cricket in the Indian subcontinent. It was the British who introduced cricket in Bangladesh, then in East Bengal. At that time, of course, only the rich and elite played cricket. This trend continued even during the Pakistan period. Originally cricket practice in Bangladesh started in full swing in the late seventies. Bangladesh cricket gained momentum after neighboring India won the World Cup. After that, Bangladesh cricket has reached its present stage by maturing with time. Bangladesh's journey in world cricket started in the late 80's. Bangladesh got its first organizational recognition in international cricket on 26 July 1976. During this time Bangladesh became an associate member of the ICC. In 1989, Bangladesh participated in the first ICC Trophy. Bangladesh won against Fiji and Malaysia. Despite not being a full member of the ICC, Bangladesh's journey in world cricket began in the mid-eighties. The journey started in 1986 with a one-day international match. The first successful manifestation of the experience that Bangladesh cricket gained over time was the 1996 ICC Trophy win. This was the unimaginable fruit of the patience and hard work of the cricket organizers and players of Bangladesh. That paves the way for one-day cricket status. In 1996, a new event in the history of cricket in Bangladesh took place through the inclusion of cricket in the ODI family, i.e. gaining ODI status.

Test - Bangladesh in cricket: Bangladesh's performance in world cricket can be divided into two main stages: 1. Previous test status; 2. Test status next. As such, Bangladesh lost to Kenya, Scotland and Pakistan once in 2001. On the other hand, since 2001, Bangladesh has lost to Zimbabwe four times, India once, Australia once and Namibia once. In recent times, the story of Australia-Bangladesh massacre has been written in the pages of history as the best incident. All this, of course, is an ODI performance. Bangladesh's only success in the Tests was winning the series 1-0 against Zimbabwe. Apart from this, everything else is a tragic display of failure. When there was a storm of criticism over Bangladesh's Test status due to Bangladesh's successive failures, Australia's 250-run victory on English soil silenced all critics. Many of the youngest and youngest Bangladesh cricket team in the Test family are famous in the international arena. Aftab, Ashraful's batting in the storm, Khaled Masood's great wicket-keeping, Rafique's spin or Narail Express's famous Mashrafe are all brilliant in international cricket.

Bangladesh in World Cup Cricket: In 1999, two years after the victory of ICC Cricket, Bangladesh cricket team participated in World Cup cricket for the first time and lost to Scotland. Not only that, Bangladesh created new surprises by beating the favorite team of the 8th World Cup Pakistan. The 99th World Cup marked the beginning of a new chapter in Bangladesh's participation in the World Cup. In the 2003 Cricket World Cup, Bangladesh showed poor skills. But for the first time in the 2006 World Cup, the Bangladesh cricket team managed to advance to the second round. On the way to the second round, they lost to India and South Africa and created an unimaginable surprise. As a result, the world of cricket is in the throes of analyzing the features and craftsmanship of Bangladesh cricket.

Steps for the development of cricket: In the future, Bangladesh cricket will be in a better position in the international arena, so everyone hopes. And this requires hard work, adequate infrastructural facilities, above all good coaching. It is especially important to take steps to get rid of the embarrassment in Test cricket. In this case, it is necessary to start a Test match or a four-day match in the domestic league. In addition, it is necessary to continue intensive practice and to make arrangements for the game by making such a pitch for the practice of batting on a bouncing pitch. These measures can improve the quality of cricket and cricketers. Apart from that, merit and skill in cricket should be given unquestionable priority. Domestic coaches need to arrange advanced training. At the same time, grassroots cricket needs to be encouraged so that new skilled cricketers are born in the country.

Conclusion: In world cricket, Bangladeshi cricketers are being considered as ambassadors of Bangladesh to the world. The responsibility that Bangladesh has gained in world cricket, though small, has increased. The future of Bangladesh in the world of cricket lies in the all-out and all-out efforts to fulfill this responsibility.
