The Bangladesh men's national cricket team, also known as The Tigers, is a cricket team from Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) manages the team. They are a Full Member of the International Cricket Council (ICC). This means they can play all three types of international cricket: Test matches, One-Day International (ODI) matches, and Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.
Bangladesh first joined the ICC as an associate member in 1977. They played in six ICC Trophies, which are tournaments for teams not yet playing Test cricket. In 1997, they won the ICC Trophy in Malaysia. This big win helped them become a Test-playing nation in 2000. Their first Test match was in November 2000 against India in Dhaka. They became the 10th country to play Test cricket.
Bangladesh's first international cricket match was in the 1979 ICC Trophy in England. On March 31, 1986, they played their first ODI against Pakistan. For a long time, football was the most popular sport in Bangladesh. But cricket grew very popular, especially in cities. By the late 1990s, cricket became the top sport.
In 1997, Bangladesh won the ICC Trophy and qualified for their first Cricket World Cup in 1999. In that World Cup, they famously beat Pakistan and also Scotland. On June 26, 2000, Bangladesh became a full ICC member.
Bangladesh has faced challenges, including a record 21 consecutive Test losses (2001–2004). They also had 23 consecutive ODI losses (1999–2002). Their first ODI win after becoming a Full Member was against Zimbabwe in 2004. Bangladesh won their first Test match against Zimbabwe in 2005. In 2009, they achieved their first overseas Test series victory by beating the West Indies.
As of October 31, 2024, Bangladesh has played 148 Tests, winning 21. Many wins have been at home, including against England, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and Australia. In March 2017, they won their 100th Test match against Sri Lanka.
As of November 11, 2024, the team has won 161 out of 441 ODI matches. They won their 100th ODI against India in 2004. Their 400th ODI win was against Zimbabwe.
Bangladesh has also played 179 T20Is, winning 68. They won their 100th T20I against Zimbabwe in July 2021. They have improved in T20Is, with wins against Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, and West Indies.
Major achievements include reaching the semi-finals of the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy. They also reached the quarter-finals of the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. Bangladesh has been runners-up in three Asia Cup tournaments: 2012, 2016, and 2018. In 2019, they won their first multi-team trophy, the 2019 Ireland Tri-Nation Series.
As of May 1, 2024, Bangladesh is ranked 9th in Tests, 8th in ODIs, and 9th in T20Is by the ICC.

History of Bangladesh Cricket
Early Years and Becoming an ICC Member (1970s-1990s)
Before Bangladesh became independent in 1971, some teams from East Pakistan played in Pakistani cricket. In 1977, Bangladesh became an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC). They joined the first ICC Trophy in 1979. This tournament allowed non-Test playing countries to qualify for the World Cup. Bangladesh won two matches but did not move past the first round.
In February 1984, Bangladesh won the South-East Asian Cricket Conference Tournament. This win helped them qualify for the 1986 Asia Cup. On March 31, 1986, Bangladesh played its first One Day International (ODI) match. It was against Pakistan, a full ICC member.

Fan Following
Cricket fans in Bangladesh are very passionate about the game. When Bangladesh became a Test-playing nation, thousands of people celebrated in the streets. The then Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, expressed her great joy. At that time, cricket was the second most popular sport in the country.
In 2011, a Bangladeshi politician said that "In Bangladesh cricket is not simply a game, it is a symbol of national unity." Fans are known as "the most passionate cricket fans" in the world. When Bangladesh wins, fans often celebrate in the streets. For example, after beating India in the 2007 World Cup, thousands celebrated all night in Dhaka. However, fans can also show their disappointment when the team loses.
