After making their debut in test cricket in 2000, the graph of the Bangladesh test team has gone upward. They have improved immensely since they started two decades ago. This team is definitely a hard opponent in their conditions and has had some excellent performances overseas as well. Being an Asian team, the team is more of a batting-dominant side.
Bangladesh has had some excellent cricketers play for them in the past and even in modern-day cricket. But because they don’t play much Test cricket, they haven’t been able to grow in this format. But despite all that, there have been some Bangladeshi batters who have troubled the strong team as well. That’s what this article is all about.
