2005
Read on:
Bangladeshi cricket team is a national cricket team representing Bangladesh. It is administrated by the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
Bangladesh is a full member of the International Cricket Council with Test and one-day international status. It played its first Test match in 2000 (against India at Dhaka), becoming the tenth Test nation.
Bangladesh's promotion to Test status was controversial, as many regarded the team as too weak to compete against the established Test nations. The fact that the team lost 31 of its first 34 Tests, including a record losing streak of 21 games, has provided fodder for such criticism. The team came tantalisingly close to winning a Test match a few times, but were denied every time until January 2005, when they finally broke the jinx in their 35th attempt and scored their maiden Test victory in Chittagong against the touring Zimbabwe team. Despite the long time taken for Bangladesh to register its first Test win, New Zealand took decades before winning its first Test, and has since flourished into one of the more powerful Test-playing nations.
Since winning its first Test, Bangladesh has shown consistent improvement in international cricket and has produced some memorable wins, including a one-day win against the current world champion, Australia. In 2006 Bangladesh white-washed Kenya for the first time in their history. In a four-match One Day International tournament, the visiting Kenyans were out-played by a much-improved Bangladeshi side who were considered the weaker outfit just a few years earlier. In the same year, Bangladesh went close to winning a Test match against the world champion Australia. Australia ultimately prevailed by a mere three wickets, the result influenced by some poor fielding and a great knock by Australian captain, Ricky Ponting.

Bangladesh got Test status in 2000. The decision received a lot of flak from many cricketing big wigs, and was also quite understandable as Bangladesh lost 31 of its first 34 Tests, with a record 21 losses. The team was clearly weak gave no competition to the other Test teams across the world. However the disappointing spell finally came to an end in early 2005 when Bangladesh, playing their 35th Test, defeated Zimbabwe by 226 runs, thereby creating history for themselves. The team had come very close to winning a few matches in the past, but nothing quite went their way and so this victory called for a lot of celebration.

2006 got off to a good start for Bangladesh when they defeated Sri Lanka for the first time in an ODI. They also came very close to defeating Australia in a Test, but could not manage to pull it off.

Bangladesh's first official foray into international cricket came in the 1979 ICC Trophy in England. On 31 March 1986, Bangladesh played its first ODI match, against Pakistan in the Asia Cup. For a long time, football was the most popular sport in Bangladesh, but cricket gradually became very popular – particularly in urban areas – and by the late 1990s had surpassed football.
Bangladesh made its full debut in international cricket in the 1986 Asia Cup.
In 1997, Bangladesh won the ICC Trophy in Malaysia and thus qualified for its first Cricket World Cup to participate in England in 1999. There, it defeated Pakistan – causing much upset – and also Scotland. On 26 June 2000, Bangladesh was granted full ICC membership.
