Cricket has gradually become very popular in urban areas of the country.

In 1997, Bangladesh became a regular ICC member with the right to play one-day internationals. It attained the status of a Test playing country on 26 June 2000.

As of July 2009, Bangladesh has played in 61 Tests, winning only 3. Their first victory was against Zimbabwe and the other two against a West Indian team crippled by the exodus of its senior players. They have lost 52 of their matches, and 33 of these by an innings.[1] Bangladesh's performance has led to repeated calls for them to lose their Test status.
