Cricket Board


Cricket is a popular game in many countries these days. Bangladesh gained the Test status in the year 2000. After gaining the Test status, Bangladesh has not yet won a match.

In the last Asia Cup , Bangladesh did not play well. Especially, the batting of the team was quite disappointing. I think that the main problem of Bangladesh is that we do not have a reliable opening pair. For this reason, our selectors should try Mohammed Rafique as an opener. He is an extraordinary cricketer. He should be able to take advantage of the first 15 overs with his ability to play shots.

It also appears that our cricketers are not working hard enough to play well at that level of the game. They must not forget that the future of the game in this country depends on how they perform in the international arena.
