Test cricket history:

Bangladesh are currently the youngest Test playing nation in world cricket and have been steadily impressing in the One Day format of the game as well as trying to come to grips with the 5 day games.

Having been granted Test status in 2000, The Tigers are still finding their feet in Test cricket. To date, they have played 49 Test matches in seven years, but have only managed to record one victory.

Although Bangladesh have found the going tough at Test level, they got off to a bright start in their inaugural game.

against Asian rivals, India. The game was played in November, at Dhaka in Bangladesh, and they started the match by batting first. The Tigers posted an impressive score of 400, with Aminul Islam top scoring with 145. With this being the first ever Test match played by Bangladesh, it meant that Islam had the honour of being the first ever Bangladeshi player to score a century at Test level.

The game ended with India winning comfortably by 9 wickets, after Bangladesh collapsed in the second innings and were bowled out for 91. However, Bangladesh had certainly made an impression on the world of cricket.
