It became an associate member of the ICC in 1977,[12]and competed in sixICC Trophiesbut performed inconsistently until 1997, which marked the year of their first major victory, winning the 1997 ICC Trophy held inMalaysia.This set the way of becoming a Test-playing nation, a journey which ended with success in 2000. It playedits first Test matchin November 2000 againstIndiawith a 9 wicket loss inDhaka,becoming the 10th Test-playing nation. The Bangladesh cricket team has not won any ICC trophies till date. [13][14][15][16][17]
Bangladesh's first official foray into international cricket came in the1979 ICC Trophyin England. On 31 March 1986, Bangladesh played its first ODI match, againstPakistanin theAsia Cup.For a long time,footballwas the most popular sport in Bangladesh, but cricket gradually became very popular – particularly in urban areas – and by the late 1990s, it had surpassed football.
In 1997, Bangladesh won theICC Trophyin Malaysia and thus qualified for its firstCricket World Cupto participate in England in1999.There, it defeatedPakistan– causing much upset – and alsoScotland.On 26 June 2000, Bangladesh was granted full ICC membership.[18][19][20][21][22]
Bangladesh holds the record for most consecutive losses in Tests (21, between 2001 and 2004) and ODIs (23, between 1999 and 2002).[23][24]After becoming Full Member, they had to wait until 2004 for first ODI win since the 1999 World Cup which was againstZimbabwe.[25]Bangladesh's maiden Test victory was against Zimbabwe in 2005 where securing a draw in the 2nd match, Bangladesh won their first Test series.[26]In 2009, Bangladesh toured the West Indies for two Tests and by winning both secured their first overseas Test series victory.[27]
As of 31 October 2024, Bangladesh has played 148 Tests, winning 21. Results have improved predominantly at home with draws earned against Pakistan, India and South Africa and wins against England, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Australia.[28]They played their 100th Testagainst Sri Lankain March 2017 which they won by 4 wickets.[29][30][31][32][33][34]

Bangladesh's major achievements include reaching the semi-finals in2017 ICC Champions Trophy.That run included a famous comeback win over New Zealand, often considered one of the greatest wins in Bangladesh's cricketing history. The team reached the quarter-finals in2015 ICC Cricket World Cupafter beating England in Adelaide, still a landmark moment for the team and the fanbase. Bangladesh were runners up in threeAsia Cups-in2012,where they lost by a narrow margin of 2 runs in Mirpur, in2016,the T20 version of the tournament held at home, and2018held in the UAE. They lost in the final of the2018 Nidahas Trophyin the last over, the latest of a series of near-final losses for the national side. They won their first recognized multi-team trophy when lifted2019 Ireland Tri-Nation Series.

History
20th century
SeveralEast Pakistan-based sides played in Pakistani domestic cricket prior to Bangladesh's declaration of independence of 1971—theEast Pakistan cricket teamfieldedthree playerswho later playedICC Trophymatches. In 1977, Bangladesh became an associate member of theInternational Cricket Council(ICC).[48]Bangladesh was one of fifteen teams to take part in the inauguralICC Trophy.Held in 1979, it gave non-test playing countries the opportunity to qualify for that year'sWorld Cup.Bangladesh, under the captaincy ofRaqibul Hasan,won two matches and lost two, but failed to progress beyond the first round.[49][50]Victory in the South-East Asian Cricket Conference Tournament in February 1984 ensured Bangladesh qualified for the1986 Asia Cup.[51]On 31 March 1986, Bangladesh played their first One Day International against aFull Memberof the ICC.[52]

Captained byGazi Ashraf,Bangladesh were dismissed for 94 runs and Pakistan reached their target for victory with seven wickets in hand.[53]They lost their second ODI, which was againstSri Lanka,finishing last in the three-team tournament.[54]Bangladesh qualified for the1988 Asia Cup,this time hosting the tournament; it was the first time ODIs had been staged in the country. Although they lost all their matches, Bangladesh's fixtures were retrospectively awarded ODI. Floods in the preceding months meant the tournament was in doubt, but it went ahead as planned. A charity match raised $70,000 for the flood victims.[55]Bangladesh added a black mark in1986 ICC Trophywith only 2 wins.[56]
Bangladesh took part in the1990 Austral-Asia Cup,[57]the Asia Cup in1990–91,1995,[58]1997,[59]and several other triangular tournaments. Still, it was not until 1998 that they won their first ODI. Their 22-match losing streak since their first ODI was at the time a record.[60]

Bangladesh posted its first ODI win against Kenya, in India. thanks largely toMohammad Rafique,who contributed a fiery 77 runs and took 3 wickets. He put on 137 for the first wicket withAthar Ali Khanwhose own contribution was 47.[62]
In October 1998, Bangladesh hosted (but did not participate in) the firstICC KnockOut Trophyever held (the event later became the ICC Champions Trophy), a knock-out ODI tournament featuring all the test playing nations.
Bangladesh took part in each of the1979,1982,1986,1990,and1994editions of the ICC Trophy, and won the trophy in1997,in the process qualified for the 1999 World Cup. The then General Secretary of Bangladesh Cricket Board,Aminul Huq Monitook the initiative to installAstro TurfinAbahaniCricket Ground andBangabandhu National Stadiumso that the local players had two full seasons to prepare on the type of pitch they would playing in ICC Trophy in 1997.[63]Bangladesh also became a regular ICC member with the right to play ODIs and started hosting bilateral and triangular ODI tournaments. Earlier, in February Dhaka hosted the third and final SAARC cricket tournament. Bangladesh played in its first World Cup inEngland in 1999and recorded their first win in a World Cup match against Scotland. Later on, Bangladesh created an enormous upset by beatingPakistanby 62 runs in the group match atNorthampton.Bangladesh made 9/223 from its full 50 overs, and in reply, Pakistan could only manage 161 due to timely run-outs by wicket-keeperKhaled Mashudand some tight bowling byKhaled Mahmud,who took 3/31 from 10 overs. Mahmud was judged the man of the match. Bangladesh did not qualify for the Super Six round due to defeats in three of its five matches. However, the win over Pakistan, who finished runners-up toAustralia,helped Bangladesh to gain test playing status the following year. Bangladesh had sacked coachGordon Greenidge,who had steered the team through the1997 ICC Trophyand into the1999 World Cupon the morning of the match.[60]
Former South Africa Test cricketerEddie Barlowbecame Bangladesh's coach in 1999.[64]In preparation for becoming a Test playing country, Bangladesh established its own first-class competition in 1999–2000, although the matches were not given first-class status until the 2000–2001 season.[65]The lack of an established first-class structure in the country until shortly before Bangladesh played its debut Test has been cited as one of the reasons the side struggled to adapt to the longer format of the game.[66]The West Indies toured Bangladesh in October, winning both matches in the ODI series.[67]After suffering a stroke in April 2000, Barlow vacated the position of coach[68]andSarwar Imranwas handed the coaching job.[69]In May and June 2000, Bangladesh hosted theAsia Cup;Bangladesh lost all three of their matches and playing against Pakistan Bangladesh recorded the heaviest defeat in ODIs, a margin of 233 runs at the time.[70]Bangladesh participated in the2000 ICC KnockOut Trophyin October; their only match ended in defeat by England.[68]

In October, Bangladesh got whitewashed in both Test and ODI series againstin South Africa.Wisdennoted that "Time and again... came the mantra that [Bangladesh] would learn from the experience, that they could only improve by playing against the best, that there was genuine talent in the squad. But it wore thin."[80]The final defeat set a record for most consecutive losses in ODIs (23), beating the previous record, which was also held by Bangladesh.[81]WhenWest Indies toured in November and December,Bangladesh lost both Tests and two out of the three ODIs, and one ended inno result.[82]Bangladesh hit several new lows on the third day of the first Test: their lowest innings total (87), their lowest match aggregate (226), and the biggest defeat in their 16 Tests (by an innings and 310 runs).[83]

In August 2003, Bangladesh toured Pakistanto play three Tests and five ODIs matches. This was Bangladesh's second tour to Pakistan, with the first occurring in 2001–02, when the teams played one Test match. Both series ended inwhitewash,with Pakistan winning the Test series 3 – 0 and the ODI series 5 – 0.[89][28][90]
In the first Test match of that series,Alok Kapalibecame the first Bangladesh player to take ahat-trickin Test cricket, dismissingShabbir Ahmed,Danish Kaneria,andUmar Gul.[91][92]However, in the third Test match of that series, Bangladesh came very close to its first Test victory, when it lost to Pakistan by only one wicket.

Ahead of the World Cup Bangladesh faced Zimbabwe in four ODIs, andBermudaand Canada one each; of those matches, Bangladesh lost a single ODI to Zimbabwe.[90]Australia,Bangladesh,IndiaandPakistanwere the only teams to win both of their warm-up games. On 17 March, in their first match of the2007 World Cup,hosted by the West Indies, Bangladesh secured a five-wicket win over India; the surprise result triggered late night partying in Bangladesh despite government bans on public gatherings.[118]In their remaining group matches Bangladesh lost to Sri Lanka and defeated Bermuda, which was enough to secure qualification for the second round while India was knocked out. Bangladesh's only victory in the Super Eights was against South Africa, losing to everyone else includingIreland,[119]a team mostly made up of amateur cricketers.[120]
In April 2007, after four years as coach, Mukil Mathavan chose not to extend his contract, but agreed to remain in charge until the end of May, to allow the BCB to find and appoint his successor and also to guide the side through thetwo Tests and three ODIs at home against India.[121]After Bangladesh had helped knock India out of the tournament, the series was seen as an opportunity for India to exact revenge. India won the three-match ODI series 2–0, one being washed out. Bangladesh had not played Test cricket since April 2006. The first Test was shortened due to rain and drawn, but India won the second by their largest margin ever (by an innings and 239 runs).[122]In the aftermath Habibul Bashar, who had previously resigned as ODI captain, was replaced as captain by 22-year-old Mohammad Ashraful in all forms of the game. Mashrafe Mortaza was appointed vice-captain.[123]
Under Shaun Williams (2007)
BCB appointed their Under-19 coachShaun Williamsas Bangladesh's interim coach until they find Whatmore's long-term successor.[124]Mohammad Ashrafulwas appointed Test & ODI captain in June 2007.[125]Ashraful's first series in charge was atour of Sri Lankain June and July. Bangladesh suffered heavy defeats in each of the three Tests; losing by an inning on every occasion, and three ODIs.[126]In the first innings of the second Test, Bangladesh was bundled out for their lowest total (62) at that time.[127]
Before theWorld T20,Bangladesh played two T20Is in Kenya. Here, they enjoyed victory over Kenya, but lost to Pakistan.[128]South Africa hosted the2007 ICC World Twenty20in September. Bangladesh defeated the West Indies at the group stage to progress to the Super 8 stage of the tournament. However, it was the only match they won in the tournament, losing next four matches.[129]During the Super 8 match against Bangladesh, Australian fast bowlerBrett Leetook the first Twenty20 International (T20I) hat-trick ever achieved.[130]
Under Jamie Siddons (2007–2011)
In late October, BCB appointedJamie Siddons,an Australian cricketer, as their head coach.[131]At the end of 2007,Bangladesh toured New Zealand.[132]They were soundly beaten 3–0 in the one-dayers. Bangladesh started the new year with the Test leg of the tour. These matches were also one-sided, where Bangladesh lost the series 2–0.
In February–March 2008, South Africaclean-swept Bangladesh across formats. The tour included two Tests and three ODIs. However, in the 1st Test, Bangladesh secured a first innings lead of 22 runs after restricting South Africa for 170.[133]
Bangladesh then defeatednon-Test-playing Ireland 3–0 in an ODI series at homein the same month, ending a run of 14 losses.[134]
Pakistan hosted Bangladeshfor 5 ODIs and a T20I in April. It was a miserable tour for Bangladesh where they lost all games.[135]
Bangladesh lost both first-round games against Pakistan and India at atriangular ODI tournamentheld in Bangladesh in June.[136]
At the2008 Asia Cupheld in Pakistan, Bangladesh won their first group stage game against associateUAE.Even though they lost to Sri Lanka in the next group stage match, Bangladesh reached the super four stage, before losing the next three games against India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.[137]
They were latergot whitewashed 0–3 in the ODIs during their tour to Australiain August–September.[138]
In October,New Zealand toured Bangladeshfor three ODIs and two Tests. Shortly before the tour, fourteen Bangladesh players left to play in theIndian Cricket Leagueand were subsequently banned for ten years. Six of the players were centrally contracted, including former captainHabibul Bashar.With a less experienced team than usual and a poor record against New Zealand, Bangladesh was expected to lose heavily. After winning the opening ODI (their first ODI victory ever over New Zealand), Bangladesh went on to lose the series 2–1.[139]New Zealand won the first Test by three wickets in what their coach,John Bracewell,described as "one of the great character wins".[140]The second Test ended up in a rain curtailed draw, sealing the series victory for New Zealand (1–0). But in the processShakib Al Hasanemerged as an all-rounder. Having previously been selected primarily as a batsman, he went on to take the best bowling figures in an innings for a Bangladesh player, 7 wickets for 36 runs, beating the record set by Enamul Haque Jr three years earlier.
In November,Bangladesh toured South Africa.They lost all their matches, including the only T20I match, two of the three ODIs (the third being washed out due to rain) and both Tests by innings.[141]
In December, however, Bangladesh bounced back from the previous lacklustre performances by threatening to win the first Test match against Sri Lanka at home by chasing down the highest fourth innings total of 513. Though they fell 107 runs short, their performances were praised.[142]But in the second test match of this home series in January, Bangladesh succumbed to a 465 runs defeat, conceding the series 2–0 to Sri Lanka.[143]Then Zimbabwe joined the hosts and the Lankan team for a tri-series ODI tournament, which proved to be more evenly matched than was expected. In the first match, Zimbabwe defeated Bangladesh by an excellent performance, but then was defeated by Sri Lanka by a huge margin, leaving Bangladesh needing to win with a bonus point against the Lankans in the last group match to go through to the finals to join the Lankans. In a reduced match due to rain interruptions, Bangladesh recorded their second ODI win over Sri Lanka to reach the finals. However, at the Finals, they were beaten by the Lankans who claimed the Series.[144]
Later in the same month the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe at home was won by Bangladesh 2–1.[145]
At the2009 ICC World Twenty20held in England, Bangladesh crashed out of the tournament at the group stage after losing both games against India and associate Ireland.[146]
The aftermath of the losses at the global event, the selectors appointed Mashrafe Mortaza as the new captain of the team for thetour to the West Indiesso that Ashraful could focus on his batting.[147]The two Test series was played amidst controversy when a pay dispute between the West Indian players and the West Indies Cricket Board led a number of West Indian players boycotting the series, which forced the West Indies to select a number of inexperienced players as replacements.[148]Bangladesh went on to win both of the Tests, winning the first Test by 95 runs[149]and the second by four wickets.[150]In the process they achieved their first overseas Test series victory.[151]

In the ODI series, England comfortably won the first match. However, in the second match at Bristol, Bangladesh beat England for the first time in international cricket (England were the only Test playing nation yet to be beaten by Bangladesh), bowling England out in the final over to win by five runs.[163] However England won the third ODI at Birmingham and sealed the series 2–1.[162]Bangladesh extended this tour in Europe to play a 2-match ODIs series against Ireland.

The next match was won by West Indies after dismissing Bangladesh for 58 runs, the team's lowest score in ODIs and a record low for a Full Member at the World Cup.[172]The West Indies and Bangladesh team buses were stoned as they left the ground,[173]and so was Shakib's house.[174]In the match against England, Bangladesh's score was at one point 169/8 but tail ender 58 run partnership brought victory for the team. Bangladesh's win in this match was only their second against England in a total of 15 ODIs.[175]

Then Australia completed a 3–0 sweep in ODIs against Bangladesh when they visited the country in April.[177]
Middle of the Australian visit, BCB confirmed that Siddons unlikely to win a contract extension from the moment his team failed to meet lofty home expectations during the 2011 World Cup.[178]Under his mentorship, Bangladesh won 2 Tests (in 19), 31 ODIs (in 84).

During his three-and-a-half-year tenure as coach Siddons introduced a full coaching staff for the first time, including coaches for bowling, strength and conditioning, and fielding. Under Siddons Bangladesh's reliance on spin bowlers continued, partly because pitches in the country encourage spin bowlers, and frequently only two seam bowlers were used in a match. Siddons was credited with helping the team improve mentally.[180]
Under Stuart Law (2011–2012)
A lengthy hunt for a head coach, followed Siddons' exit encountering the names ofVincent BarnesandStuart Lawas possible appointees.[181]Law, who at the time was the interim head coach ofSri LankafollowingTrevor Bayliss' departure, was named Bangladesh's new head coach starting from 1 July 2011.[182]

Bangladesh lost the match by 130 runs.[184]Though they were expected to do well with the Test and the ODIs, Bangladesh lost the subsequent one-day series 3–2. In the aftermath of the series, captainShakib Al Hasanand vice captainTamim Iqbalwere sacked from their leadership roles, with a BCB representative citing their poor leadership.[185]Later that month, wicket-keeperMushfiqur Rahimwas named captain, with all-rounderMahmudullahas his deputy.[186]
Bangladesh's struggles at the international level have been epitomised by the ineffectiveness of their fast bowlers. Between January 2010 and August 2011, they took 37 wickets in 8 Tests at an average of 67.67, the worst out of the nine teams playing regular Test cricket in this period.[187]

Fan following
Before Bangladesh had even secured Test status, cricket fans in the country took the game seriously; when the team lost an ODI against Kenya in March 1999, several hundred fans protested outside the offices of theBangladesh Cricket Board(BCB).[415]On learning of Bangladesh's promotion to Test status, thousands of people celebrated on the streets. Then Prime MinisterSheikh Hasinaremarked that "I can't express my joy in words at this happiest hour of the nation".[416]At the time cricket was the second-most popular sport in the country behind football.[416]When Bangladesh began its first Test match on 10 November 2000 atBangabandhu National Stadiumin Dhaka, the stadium was nearly full on the first day as around 40,000 people watched the team take on India. As the match partly overlapped with the festival ofShab-e-Barat,numbers attending declined as the match progressed.[417]In 2011, Bangladeshi politicianSaber Hossain Chowdhuryopined that "In Bangladesh cricket is not simply a game, it is a symbol of national unity",[418]and in the words of AHM Mostofa Kamal, president of the BCB in 2011, "People ofBangladeshtake cricket religiously ".[418]
The people of Bangladesh are referred as "the most passionate cricket fans" among the cricket world. When Bangladesh are victorious, the fans sometimes take to the streets in celebration. When Bangladesh defeated India in the 2007 World Cup, thousands of people celebrated into the night on the streets of Dhaka despite there being a ban on public gatherings at the time.[419]Although fans are jubilant in victory, they can also be vocal in defeat. When Bangladesh lost to England in an ODI in November 2003, the then captain Khaled Mahmud was booed off the field.[420]During the 2011 World Cup, Bangladesh succumbed to a record defeat against West Indies, registering the team's lowest score in ODIs. Bangladeshi fans booed[421]and stoned the buses of both teams (Bangladesh's intentionally, West Indies' mistakenly), as was Shakib Al Hasan's house.[422]
