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.

31 March 1986 Scorecard	Bangladesh  94 all out (35.3 overs)	v	Pakistan 98/3 (32.1 overs)	Pakistan won by 7 wickets Tyronne Fernando Stadium, Moratuwa, Sri Lanka Umpires: Herbi Felsinger (SL) and PW Vidanagamage (SL) Player of the match: Wasim Akram
	Shaheedur Rahman 37 (60) Wasim Akram 4/19 (9 overs)		Mudassar Nazar 47 (97) Jahangir Shah 2/23 (9 overs)

Bangladesh scored only 94 runs and Pakistan won easily. They also lost their second ODI against Sri Lanka. In 1988, Bangladesh hosted the Asia Cup, which was the first time ODIs were played in the country. They lost all their matches but gained valuable experience.

Bangladesh played in several tournaments in the 1990s. But they did not win their first ODI until 1998. They had a record 22-match losing streak before that first win.

16 May 1998 Scorecard	Kenya  236 all out (49 overs)	v	Bangladesh 237/4 (48 overs)	Bangladesh won by 6 wickets Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium, Hyderabad, India Umpires: SK Sharma (Ind) and C. R. Mohite (Ind) Player of the match: Mohammad Rafique
	Ravi Shah 52 (64) Mohammad Rafique 3/56 (10 overs)		Mohammad Rafique 77 (87) Mohammad Sheikh 2/46 (10 overs)

This first ODI win was against Kenya in India. Mohammad Rafique was the star, scoring 77 runs and taking 3 wickets.

In 1997, Bangladesh won the ICC Trophy and qualified for the 1999 Cricket World Cup in England. They caused a big surprise by beating Pakistan by 62 runs. This win helped Bangladesh gain Test playing status the next year.

Becoming a Test Team (2000-2003)

In 1999, Eddie Barlow became Bangladesh's coach. Bangladesh started its own first-class cricket competition in 1999–2000. This was important for preparing players for Test cricket. On November 13, 2000, Bangladesh played its first Test match against India in Dhaka.

Bangladesh lost by nine wickets, but they played better than expected. Aminul Islam Bulbul scored 145 runs, becoming only the third player to score a century in their country's first Test.

In 2001, Trevor Chappell became coach. Bangladesh struggled in Tests, losing many matches. In 2002, Mohsin Kamal became coach. Bangladesh continued to struggle, losing matches to Sri Lanka, South Africa, and West Indies. By this time, they had lost 10 of their first 11 Tests.

In the 2003 Cricket World Cup, Bangladesh lost five of their six matches. After this, Habibul Bashar became captain, and Dav Whatmore took over as coach.

Growth Under Dav Whatmore (2003–2007)

Under Dav Whatmore, Bangladesh started to improve. In August 2003, Alok Kapali became the first Bangladeshi player to take a hat-trick in Test cricket against Pakistan. In December 2004, Bangladesh defeated India in their 100th ODI match. This was only their third win against a Test-playing nation.

In January 2005, Bangladesh achieved their first-ever Test victory against Zimbabwe.

This win also secured their first Test series victory. In June 2005, Bangladesh caused a huge upset by beating Australia, the world champions, in an ODI.

Mohammad Ashraful scored a century in this historic win. In November 2006, Bangladesh won their first T20I match against Zimbabwe.

28 November 2006 (Scorecard)	Bangladesh 166 (19.5 overs)	v	Zimbabwe 123/9 (20 overs)	Bangladesh won by 43 runs Khulna Divisional Stadium, Khulna, Bangladesh Umpires: Enamul Haque (Ban) and Nadir Shah (Ban) Player of the match: Mashrafe Mortaza (BAN)
	Mashrafe Mortaza 36 (26) Prosper Utseya 3/25 (4 overs)		Sean Williams 38 (42) Abdur Razzak 3/17 (4 overs)
Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field. This was both Bangladesh and Zimbabwe's inaugural T20I match.

In the 2007 Cricket World Cup, Bangladesh surprised everyone by beating India. They reached the Super 8 stage, their best performance at that time. After this World Cup, Mohammad Ashraful became captain.

Under Jamie Siddons (2007–2011)

In late 2007, Jamie Siddons became the head coach. Bangladesh continued to improve. In 2009, they won their first overseas Test series against the West Indies.

This was a big moment for the team. In October 2010, Bangladesh won an ODI series against New Zealand 4–0. This was their first series win against a full-strength ICC Full Member nation.

In the 2011 Cricket World Cup, co-hosted by Bangladesh, they had a mixed performance. They beat Ireland and England, but had their lowest ODI score of 58 against West Indies.

Under Stuart Law and Richard Pybus (2011–2012)

Stuart Law became coach in 2011. Bangladesh lost a Test and ODI series in Zimbabwe. After this, Mushfiqur Rahim became the new captain. In March 2012, Bangladesh reached the final of the 2012 Asia Cup. They beat India and Sri Lanka to get there, but lost to Pakistan by just two runs in the final. This was a great achievement for the team.

Richard Pybus became coach in May 2012. Under him, Bangladesh won a T20I series against Ireland 3–0. They even reached number 4 in the T20I rankings briefly. However, Pybus left after only four months.

Under Shane Jurgensen (2012–2014)

Shane Jurgensen became the interim coach in late 2012. In March 2013, Bangladesh drew a Test match against Sri Lanka for the first time. Mushfiqur Rahim scored Bangladesh's first Test double century in that match. In October–November 2013, Bangladesh drew a Test series against New Zealand at home. They also won the ODI series against New Zealand 3–0.

In 2014, Bangladesh had a tough time, losing many matches. However, they won two T20Is in the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 and reached the Super 10 stage.

Under Chandika Hathurusingha (2014–2017)

Chandika Hathurusingha became coach in 2014. Bangladesh lost series against India and West Indies. But they bounced back by whitewashing Zimbabwe 3–0 in a Test series and 5–0 in an ODI series at home.

Rise in ODI Cricket (2015)

In 2015, Shakib Al Hasan became the world's number one all-rounder in all three formats. This was a first for any player. In the 2015 Cricket World Cup, Bangladesh beat Afghanistan and England. They reached the quarter-finals for the first time ever. This was a huge success for the team.

After the World Cup, Bangladesh had a fantastic run in ODIs. They won their first-ever series against Pakistan (3–0). Then, they beat India 2–1 in a bilateral series for the first time. They also won their first series against South Africa 2–1. These strong performances helped Bangladesh climb to 7th in the ODI Team Rankings. This meant they qualified for the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy.

Rise in T20I Cricket (2016)

In 2016, Bangladesh reached the final of the 2016 Asia Cup, beating Sri Lanka and Pakistan. They lost to India in the final. In the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, Tamim Iqbal became the first Bangladeshi to score a T20I century.

In May 2019, Bangladesh won their first-ever multi-team ODI tournament final in Ireland.

Despite this, Bangladesh finished 8th in the 2019 Cricket World Cup and did not reach the semi-finals. Rhodes' contract ended in July 2019.

Under Russell Domingo (2019–2022)

Russell Domingo became head coach in August 2019. In his first series, Bangladesh lost a Test to Afghanistan. However, they shared the trophy in a tri-series with Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. In November 2019, Bangladesh played their first-ever Day/Night Test match against India.

In February 2020, Bangladesh won a Test match against Zimbabwe by an innings. This was their second Test win by an innings. They also whitewashed Zimbabwe in the ODI and T20I series. This was the first time Bangladesh won all three series (Test, ODI, T20I) in a single tour.

Governing Body

The president of the BCB is chosen by the government. The BCB also handles team sponsorships. For example, Grameenphone has sponsored the men's and women's teams since 2003. In 2006, the BCB created an academy to help young players develop their skills.

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.

Team Colours and Sponsorship

In Test cricket, Bangladesh wears traditional white uniforms. The BCB logo is on the left chest, and the sponsor's logo is on the right. Fielders wear dark green caps or white wide-brimmed sun hats. Helmets are also dark green.
