The '''Bangladesh men's national cricket team''' ({{langx|bn|বাংলাদেশ জাতীয় ক্রিকেট দল}}), commonly known as '''The Tigers''', is the national cricket team of Bangladesh, administered by the [[Bangladesh Cricket Board]] (BCB). They are a [[List of International Cricket Council members#Full Member|Full Member]] of the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) with [[Test cricket|Test]], [[One-Day International]] (ODI) and [[Twenty20 International]] (T20I) status.

They became an associate member of the ICC in 1977,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://icc-cricket.yahoo.com/about-icc/history-1964-1988.html |title=History – 1964 – 1988 – International Cricket Conference |publisher=[[International Cricket Council]] |access-date=2008-04-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080721010931/http://icc-cricket.yahoo.com/about-icc/history-1964-1988.html |archive-date=2008-07-21 }}</ref> and competed in six [[ICC World Cup Qualifier|ICC Trophies]] but performed inconsistently until 1997, which marked the year of their first major victory, winning the 1997 ICC Trophy held in [[Malaysia]]. This set the way of becoming a Test-playing nation, a journey which ended with success in 2000. They played [[Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2000–01|their first test match]] in November 2000 against [[India national cricket team|India]] with a 9 wicket loss in [[Dhaka]], becoming the 10th Test-playing nation. The Bangladesh cricket team has not won any ICC trophies till date.

Bangladesh's first official foray into international cricket came in the [[1979 ICC Trophy]] in England. On 31 March 1986, Bangladesh played their first ODI match, against [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] in the [[1986 Asia Cup|Asia Cup]]. For a long time, [[Association football|football]] was the most popular sport in Bangladesh, but cricket gradually became very popular – particularly in urban areas – and by the late 1990s, it had surpassed football.

In 1997, Bangladesh won the [[1997 ICC Trophy|ICC Trophy]] in Malaysia and thus qualified for its first [[Cricket World Cup]] to participate in England in [[1999 Cricket World Cup|1999]]. There, they defeated [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] – causing much upset – and also [[Scotland national cricket team|Scotland]]. On 26 June 2000, Bangladesh was granted full ICC membership.<ref>{{cite news|url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/807107.stm|title = Bangladesh delight at Test status |work=[[BBC News]]|access-date = 2008-04-08|date=26 June 2000}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/other_international/bangladesh/4482075.stm|title =Bangladesh in Tests: A short history| publisher = [[BBC Sport]]|access-date = 2008-04-08 |date = 10 May 2005}}</ref><ref name="Test">{{cite news|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/sports/bangladesh-cricket/news/bulbul-we-got-the-test-status-1920861|title='Bulbul, we got the Test status'|work=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)|The Daily Star]] |date=26 June 2020|access-date=24 February 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://tbsnews.net/sports/bangladeshs-road-test-status-98191|title=Bangladesh's road to Test status|work=[[The Business Standard]]|date=26 June 2020|access-date=24 February 2021}}</ref><ref name="ICC">{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/members/asia/full/22|title=Bangladesh Cricket Board|work=[[International Cricket Council|ICC]]|access-date=24 February 2021}}</ref>

Bangladesh's major achievements include reaching the semi-finals in [[2017 ICC Champions Trophy]]. That run included a famous comeback win over New Zealand, often considered one of the greatest wins in Bangladesh's cricketing history. The team reached the quarter-finals in [[2015 ICC Cricket World Cup]] after beating England in Adelaide, still a landmark moment for the team and the fanbase. Bangladesh were runners up in three [[Asia Cup]]s -in [[2012 Asia Cup|2012]], where they lost by a narrow margin of 2 runs in Mirpur, in [[2016 Asia Cup|2016]], the T20 version of the tournament held at home, and [[2018 Asia Cup|2018]] held in the UAE. They lost in the final of the [[2018 Nidahas Trophy]] in the last over, the latest of a series of near-final losses for the national side. They won their first recognized multi-team trophy when lifted [[2019 Ireland Tri-Nation Series]].

As of 1 May 2024, Bangladesh is ranked 9th in Tests, 8th in ODIs and 9th in T20Is by the ICC.<ref name="ICCrankings">{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/rankings/content/page/211271.html |title=ICC rankings – ICC Test, ODI and Twenty20 rankings |work=[[ESPNcricinfo]] |access-date=22 November 2021}}</ref>

==History==
{{Main|History of cricket in Bangladesh}}

===20th century===
Several [[East Pakistan]]-based sides played in Pakistani domestic cricket prior to Bangladesh's declaration of independence of 1971—the [[East Pakistan cricket team]] fielded [[List of East Pakistan first-class cricketers|three players]] who later played [[ICC Trophy]] matches.

Bangladesh posted its first ODI win against Kenya, in India. thanks largely to [[Mohammad Rafique (cricketer)|Mohammad Rafique]], who contributed a fiery 77 runs and took 3 wickets. He put on 137 for the first wicket with [[Athar Ali Khan]] whose own contribution was 47.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66145.html Bangladesh v Kenya (17 May 1998)], Retrieved on (27 January 2008)</ref>

In October 1998, Bangladesh hosted (but did not participate in) the first [[1998 ICC KnockOut Trophy|ICC KnockOut Trophy]] ever held (the event later became the ICC Champions Trophy), a knock-out ODI tournament featuring all the test playing nations.

Bangladesh took part in each of the [[1979 ICC Trophy|1979]], [[1982 ICC Trophy|1982]], [[1986 ICC Trophy|1986]], [[1990 ICC Trophy|1990]], and [[1994 ICC Trophy|1994]] editions of the ICC Trophy, and won the trophy in [[1997 ICC Trophy|1997]], in the process qualified for the 1999 World Cup. The then General Secretary of Bangladesh Cricket Board, [[Aminul Huq Moni]] took the initiative to install [[AstroTurf|Astro Turf]] in [[Abahani Limited (Dhaka)|Abahani]] Cricket Ground and [[Bangabandhu National Stadium]] so that the local players had two full seasons to prepare on the type of pitch they would playing in ICC Trophy in 1997.<ref>{{cite news |date=1 June 2015 |title=Former BCB general secretary dies in Dhaka |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/former-bcb-general-secretary-dies-in-dhaka-883039 |access-date=16 January 2016}}</ref> Bangladesh also became a regular ICC member with the right to play ODIs and started hosting bilateral and triangular ODI tournaments. Earlier, in February Dhaka hosted the third and final SAARC cricket tournament. Bangladesh played in its first World Cup in [[1999 ICC Cricket World Cup|England in 1999]] and recorded their first win in a World Cup match against Scotland. Later on, Bangladesh created an enormous upset by beating [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] by 62 runs in the group match at [[County Ground, Northampton|Northampton]]. Bangladesh made 9/223 from its full 50 overs, and in reply, Pakistan could only manage 161 due to timely run-outs by wicket-keeper [[Khaled Mashud]] and some tight bowling by [[Khaled Mahmud]], who took 3/31 from 10 overs. Mahmud was judged the man of the match. Bangladesh did not qualify for the Super Six round due to defeats in three of its five matches. However, the win over Pakistan, who finished runners-up to [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]], helped Bangladesh to gain test playing status the following year. Bangladesh had sacked coach [[Gordon Greenidge]], who had steered the team through the [[1997 ICC Trophy]] and into the [[1999 Cricket World Cup|1999 World Cup]] on the morning of the match.<ref name="toothless tigers"/>

Bangladesh then defeated [[Irish cricket team in Bangladesh in 2007-08|non-Test-playing Ireland 3–0 in an ODI series at home]] in the same month, ending a run of 14 losses.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvireland/content/series/335630.html|title=Ireland tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

[[Bangladeshi cricket team in Pakistan in 2008|Pakistan hosted Bangladesh]] for 5 ODIs and a T20I in April. It was a miserable tour for Bangladesh where they lost all games.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakvbdesh/content/series/343065.html|title=Bangladesh tour of Pakistan|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

Bangladesh lost both first-round games against Pakistan and India at a [[2008 Kitply Cup|triangular ODI tournament]] held in Bangladesh in June.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/kitplycup/engine/series/345463.html?view=pointstable|title=Points Table – Kitply Cup 2008 – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

At the [[2008 Asia Cup]] held in Pakistan, Bangladesh won their first group stage game against associate [[United Arab Emirates national cricket team|UAE]]. Even though they lost to Sri Lanka in the next group stage match, Bangladesh reached the super four stage, before losing the next three games against India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/asiacup/engine/series/298014.html?view=pointstable|title=Points Table – Asia Cup – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

In October, [[New Zealand cricket team in Bangladesh in 2008–09|New Zealand toured Bangladesh]] for three ODIs and two Tests. Shortly before the tour, fourteen Bangladesh players left to play in the [[Indian Cricket League]] and were subsequently banned for ten years. Six of the players were centrally contracted, including former captain [[Habibul Bashar]]. With a less experienced team than usual and a poor record against New Zealand, Bangladesh was expected to lose heavily. After winning the opening ODI (their first ODI victory ever over New Zealand), Bangladesh went on to lose the series 2–1.<ref name=nz08>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/431964.html |title=Bangladesh v New Zealand 2008–09 |first=Utpal |last=Shuvro |publisher=Wisden Cricketers' Almanac |date=29 October 2009 |access-date=15 February 2011}}</ref> New Zealand won the first Test by three wickets in what their coach, [[John Bracewell]], described as "one of the great character wins".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/431973.html |title=First Test: Bangladesh v New Zealand 2008–09 |first=Utpal |last=Shuvro |publisher=Wisden Cricketers' Almanac |date=29 October 2009 |access-date=15 February 2011}}</ref> The second Test ended up in a rain curtailed draw, sealing the series victory for New Zealand (1–0). But in the process [[Shakib Al Hasan]] emerged as an all-rounder. Having previously been selected primarily as a batsman, he went on to take the best bowling figures in an innings for a Bangladesh player, 7 wickets for 36 runs, beating the record set by Enamul Haque Jr three years earlier.

In November, [[Bangladeshi cricket team in South Africa in 2008-09|Bangladesh toured South Africa]]. They lost all their matches, including the only T20I match, two of the three ODIs (the third being washed out due to rain) and both Tests by innings.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/rsavbdesh/content/series/350336.html|title=Bangladesh tour of South Africa|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

In December, however, Bangladesh bounced back from the previous lacklustre performances by threatening to win the first Test match against Sri Lanka at home by chasing down the highest fourth innings total of 513. Though they fell 107 runs short, their performances were praised.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvsl/content/story/384811.html|title=Brave Bangladesh fall 107 short|date=31 December 2008}}</ref> But in the second test match of this home series in January, Bangladesh succumbed to a 465 runs defeat, conceding the series 2–0 to Sri Lanka.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvsl/content/series/378736.html|title=Sri Lanka tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> Then Zimbabwe joined the hosts and the Lankan team for a tri-series ODI tournament, which proved to be more evenly matched than was expected. In the first match, Zimbabwe defeated Bangladesh by an excellent performance, but then was defeated by Sri Lanka by a huge margin, leaving Bangladesh needing to win with a bonus point against the Lankans in the last group match to go through to the finals to join the Lankans. In a reduced match due to rain interruptions, Bangladesh recorded their second ODI win over Sri Lanka to reach the finals. However, at the Finals, they were beaten by the Lankans who claimed the Series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/tri-bdesh/content/story/386587.html|title=Murali cameo clinches humdinger|date=16 January 2009}}</ref>

Bangladesh emerged victorious 4–1<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/zimvbdesh2009/content/series/410334.html|title=Bangladesh tour of Zimbabwe|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> and 4–1<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvzim09/content/series/422622.html|title=Zimbabwe tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> in back to back five match ODI series against Zimbabwe away (in August) and home (in October–November).

In January 2010, Bangladesh hosted a tri-series ODI tournament with India and Sri Lanka. They failed to win a match (in 4 matches) and went out of the tournament.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/table/series/8631/season/2010/tri-nation-tournament-in-bangladesh|title=Tri-Nation Tournament in Bangladesh Table – 2010|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> That was followed by a two-match Test series against India at home, which Bangladesh lost 2–0.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvind2010/content/series/434243.html|title=India tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

During full away tour in February 2010 against New Zealand, Bangladesh lost all matches (only T20I, three ODIs and only Test).<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/nzvbdesh2010/content/series/423769.html|title=Bangladesh tour of New Zealand|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

In February–March 2010, [[England Cricket Team|England]] visited Bangladesh to play [[English cricket team in Bangladesh in 2009–10|three ODIs and two Test matches]].

In May, Bangladesh took part in the [[2010 World Twenty20]]. They lost all their matches at group stage (against Pakistan and Australia) and failed to progress to the Super Eights stage.

In May and June, Bangladesh played two Test matches [[Bangladeshi cricket team in England in 2010|against England away]], losing both, although [[Tamim Iqbal]] scored two centuries in the series.<ref name="espncricinfo.com1">{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-bangladesh-2010/content/series/426339.html|title=Bangladesh tour of England, Ireland and Scotland|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

Between the Tests and ODIs against England, Bangladesh took part in the [[2010 Asia Cup]] during June, but lost all their matches vs India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

In the ODI series, England comfortably won the first match. However, in the second match at Bristol, Bangladesh beat England for the first time in international cricket (England were the only Test playing nation yet to be beaten by Bangladesh), bowling England out in the final over to win by five runs.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://m.cricinfo.com/s/2497/MatchCenter?countryId=25&country=bangladesh&matchId=426404&tournamentName=NatWest%20Series%20%5BBangladesh%20in%20England%5D&matchTitle=2nd%20ODI&team1=England&team2=Bangladesh&startDate=Jul%2010%2C%202010&result=true|title=Live cricket scores, commentary, match coverage – Cricket news, statistics – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=9 March 2016}}</ref>

In February and March 2011, Bangladesh co-hosted the [[2011 Cricket World Cup|World Cup]] with India and Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh later defeated the Netherlands, making their final match of the group stage a must-win contest. Against South Africa, Bangladesh succumbed to their second-largest defeat in ODIs and became the first Full Member team to be bowled out for under 100 twice in World Cups, thereby failing to progress to the knockout stage of the tournament.<ref>{{cite web |last=Purohit |first=Abhishek |date=19 March 2011 |title=Abject Bangladesh surrender meekly |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-cricket-world-cup-2010-11-381449/bangladesh-vs-south-africa-39th-match-group-b-433597/match-report |access-date=20 March 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

During his three-and-a-half-year tenure as coach Siddons introduced a full coaching staff for the first time, including coaches for bowling, strength and conditioning, and fielding. Under Siddons Bangladesh's reliance on spin bowlers continued, partly because pitches in the country encourage spin bowlers, and frequently only two seam bowlers were used in a match. Siddons was credited with helping the team improve mentally.<ref>{{cite web |last=Choudhury |first=Abu |date=19 June 2011 |title=Lessons from Siddons |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/abu-choudhury-what-bangladesh-can-learn-from-jamie-siddons-time-as-coach-519381 |access-date=20 June 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

A full strength [[Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2015|Indian team arrived in Bangladesh]] in June 2015, for a one-off Test and 3 ODIs, where the Indians were expected to win comfortably. During the Test, the Indian team was too strong for Bangladesh where they were enforced to follow on. But the heavy rain interruptions denied a decisive result (only 184.2 overs were played). However excellent performances by the batsmen and ODI debutant bowler [[Mustafizur Rahman]] had the tables turned over as Bangladesh convincingly won the first two ODIs and for the first time, won a bilateral series [[Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2015|against India]] by a margin of 2–1.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-india-2015/content/series/870723.html|title=India tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

Before Bangladesh had even secured Test status, cricket fans in the country took the game seriously; when the team lost an ODI against Kenya in March 1999, several hundred fans protested outside the offices of the [[Bangladesh Cricket Board]] (BCB).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/151605.html |title=Meril International Tournament 1998–99, fifth match: Bangladesh v Kenya |publisher=Wisden Cricketers' Almanac |access-date=10 March 2011}}</ref> On learning of Bangladesh's promotion to Test status, thousands of people celebrated on the streets. Then Prime Minister [[Sheikh Hasina]] remarked that "I can't express my joy in words at this happiest hour of the nation".<ref name="happiest hour">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/807107.stm |title=Bangladesh delight at Test status |work=BBC News|date=26 June 2000 |access-date=21 April 2011}}</ref> At the time cricket was the second-most popular sport in the country behind football.<ref name="happiest hour"/> When Bangladesh began its first Test match on 10 November 2000 at [[Bangabandhu National Stadium]] in Dhaka, the stadium was nearly full on the first day as around 40,000&nbsp;people watched the team take on India. As the match partly overlapped with the festival of [[Shab-e-Barat]], numbers attending declined as the match progressed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/154207.html |first=Richard |last=Hobson |title=The Indians in Bangladesh, 2000–01 |publisher=Wisden Cricketers' Almanac |access-date=10 March 2011}}</ref> In 2011, Bangladeshi politician [[Saber Hossain Chowdhury]] opined that "In Bangladesh cricket is not simply a game, it is a symbol of national unity",<ref name="fan following">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/other_international/bangladesh/9420128.stm |title=Cricket World Cup: Nation unites behind Bangladesh |first=Akbar |last=Hossain |publisher=BBC Sport |date=9 March 2011 |access-date=10 March 2011}}</ref> and in the words of AHM Mostofa Kamal, president of the BCB in 2011, "People of [[Bangladesh]] take cricket religiously".<ref name="fan following"/>

The people of Bangladesh are referred as "the most passionate cricket fans" among the cricket world. When Bangladesh are victorious, the fans sometimes take to the streets in celebration. When Bangladesh defeated India in the 2007 World Cup, thousands of people celebrated into the night on the streets of Dhaka despite there being a ban on public gatherings at the time.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/6536593.stm |title=Cricket win prompts Dhaka parties |work=BBC News|date=8 April 2007 |access-date=10 March 2011}}</ref> Although fans are jubilant in victory, they can also be vocal in defeat. When Bangladesh lost to England in an ODI in November 2003, the then captain Khaled Mahmud was booed off the field.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/155899.html |title=First One-Day International: Bangladesh v England, 2003–04 |publisher=Wisden Cricketers' Almanac |access-date=10 March 2011}}</ref> During the 2011 World Cup, Bangladesh succumbed to a record defeat against West Indies, registering the team's lowest score in ODIs.

==Team colours and sponsorship==
[[File:Bangladesh Team Returning to Dressing Room.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Bangladesh cricket players  against Zimbabwe in 2009.]]
In Test cricket, Bangladesh wears [[cricket whites]], with the BCB logo on the left chest and the sponsor's logo on the right chest. Fielders wear a dark green cap or a white wide brim sunhat. The helmets are also dark green. In limited overs cricket, Bangladesh wears a green uniform with red being the secondary colour and the BCB logo on chest and the sponsor's logo on the centre and "BANGLADESH" written underneath in white letters, with the fielders wearing a green baseball cap with red accents or a green wide-brimmed hat. During [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] tournaments, the sponsor's logo is placed on the left sleeve.  In the [[1999 Cricket World Cup]], Bangladesh wore an olive green uniform with yellow accents and a horizontal stripe with tiger-stripe motif on the chest.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/181003|title=Classic World Cup Kits – 1999|access-date=11 September 2018}}</ref>
