Evolution of Bangladesh Cricket: From 1975 to the World Stage
Bangladesh Cricket Board’s Tigers represent Bangladesh internationally in cricket competition. Managed by a committee called Bangladesh Cricket Board and accepted into International Cricket Council membership, Dhaka-based Tigers have played in 142 Test matches since debuting back in 1977; furthermore they play one-day international and Twenty20 matches as well.
In 1975, the BCB was created to manage cricket in war-ravaged Afghanistan. Beginning as local tournaments and progressing up the league ladder until 1992 when a national league was first created with sponsorship by Ispahani Mirzapore Tea as its inaugural edition.
In 1996, they won the ICC Trophy before participating in the 1999 World Cup as best runners-up and being semifinalists of its inaugural ICC World Twenty20 tournament. Over time, their performance continued to improve until 2017 when they made history by reaching the Asia Cup final despite defeat from Sri Lanka and Pakistan along the way.
Bangladesh may only have recently joined Test cricket, yet already they have surprised much larger nations on multiple occasions. Bangladesh stunned Pakistan by winning their series opener at Rawalpindi thanks to Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
The Tigers currently stand at eighth in the world for Test matches and seventh for one-day internationals, respectively. Over the 2010s, the Tigers benefitted greatly from being led by Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal’s all-round talents; both these players helped propel them towards becoming formidable powers in one-day international cricket while making an successful transition into Test cricket by 2024.
Bangladesh are currently captained in all three forms by Najmul Hossain Shanto, having taken over this responsibility early in 2024. Shanto is supported by experienced cricketers such as Mustafizur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz; Bangladesh still have not won a Test in India but are striving towards doing so.
Bangladesh Cricket 2024: An Action-Packed Schedule Across Three Continents
Bangladesh may not fare well against India in Test cricket, but their shorter formats represent a formidable challenger. Only two full member teams (Ireland and England) have played more ODIs and T20Is than Bangladesh has so far this year – both will host more than 50 matches! Bangladesh are poised to make great strides forward this year towards greater white ball cricket success – they’re scheduled to play 59 ODIs/T20Is including International Twenty20 World Cup events held both in West Indies/USA this year!
Bangladesh will bring along several young players on this tour and it will be fascinating to observe their adaptation to the fast-paced style of cricket in America. Alongside these young talent will be experienced batsmen and bowlers; Najmul Hossain Shanto will lead as captain, while vice-captain Shakib Al Hasan should provide leadership.
Bangladesh’s pace bowlers have made waves during their tour of India. On Thursday, both Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana caused havoc for Indian batsmen with Hasan using his trademark lateral movement technique to deceive batters; both bowlers have been heralded as potential future stars and could play key roles in Bangladesh’s success in cricket.
The first test will begin September 19 at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium and continue through mid-October before moving on to Kanpur’s Green Park and Gwalior’s New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium for subsequent tests. India are looking to strengthen their hold at the top of the World Test rankings and are determined to win this match, but reports of atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh has cast a cloud over it. Right-wing Hindu groups have asked the BCCI to postpone its Test match until these issues have been addressed, though India’s government may approve of this match regardless. Fans can expect the match to draw huge crowds; BCB will work hard to make sure it goes off smoothly by keeping supporters under control and guaranteeing everyone is safe while watching this spectacular spectacle!
Preparations
Recently, Bangladesh triumphed against Pakistan and is looking ahead to their multi-format series against India later in September. Najmul Hossain Shanto’s side will face world No 2 India for their inaugural multi-format competition matchup and this challenger could pose the ultimate test before heading off to Chennai, Kanpur, Gwalior and Delhi.
Goa-based right-wing organization Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has requested that the match be cancelled, due to ongoing atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh. They asked that it be postponed until these issues have been addressed; however, BCCI has confirmed that Rohit Sharma will lead India.
Bangladesh’s squad arrived in Lahore on August 13 and will conduct training sessions at Gaddafi Stadium until August 20. Despite political tensions in Pakistan, players feel confident that their trip will be secure and will enable them to showcase their abilities on the global stage.
India will then welcome them, where they will play two Tests and three T20Is over five days starting September 19 at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium before concluding with an outright T20 match at Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium on October 12 for their last encounter of this tour.
Bangladesh will enter their T20I series against India full of confidence after their historic win against Pakistan, but will need to face an extremely strong India side to have any hope of adding more victories to their impressive tally of T20I wins. India could provide difficult conditions which Bangladesh may need to consider carefully when planning strategies against them.
Bangladesh batsmen will look to prove themselves against an energetic crowd in this T20I series, led by Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan who should make an impressionful show against Pakistan’s bowling attack bolstered by rising youngster like Shoriful Islam and Ebadot Hossain.
Bangladeshi batsmen will be put through rigorous tests by India’s spinners, while their bowlers must remain on form against Ravindra Jadeja and Morne Morkel – two players known for their spin. But with their experience, Bangladesh can overcome such difficulties to secure series victory.

India will visit Bangladesh from September 19 to mid-October for a series of Test and T20 cricket matches, beginning Monday, October 21 at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. It will mark Bangladesh’s inaugural test without their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan who recently announced his retirement from T20Is and Test cricket; veteran batsman Mahmudullah will hope that an impressive performance against India may extend his international career further.
Bangladesh are yet to beat India in a Test series but are hoping that home advantage could prove decisive this time around. They have struggled in one-day internationals against them but recent victories over Pakistan and Afghanistan have strengthened their red-ball cricket performance under Chandika Hathurusingha’s guidance, creating an intriguing blend of youth and experience within their squad – something which may prove pivotal in this matchup.
Indian batting should remain strong despite Virat Kohli’s absence as captain, due to their history against Bangladeshi bowlers and aggressive approach. India should score big runs during this match!
Both teams will be hoping to secure victory in Chattogram in their second Test; their rivalry has taken on new dimensions since close encounters during Asia Cup 2022 and bilateral series have come down to the wire, giving their encounters even greater significance and making this match one of the most anticipated clashes worldwide.
The match will be broadcast live across India by Jio TV and Star Sports, while UK audiences can catch all of the action live on Sky Sports. BBC Radio 5 Live subscribers can tune in for commentary and analysis of the game starting at 10:30 GMT; additionally there will be live streams available via BBC.co.uk and apps to fans who cannot attend in person.
