5 greatest moments in the history of Bangladesh Cricket

#2 Attaining Test status

26th June, 2000. This is a date that many Bangladeshis ought to remember. It was the day The Tigers attained Test status and stepped onto the stone of the elites.

Many argue that Kenya deserved it more than Bangladesh at that point and they are perhaps right. But what can’t be denied is that the passion of the fans for the game justifies that decision – it gave Bangladesh cricket team an advantage over Kenya.

The zealous nature of the fans still show why the decision was the right one. Though attaining Test status on the back of the fans’ appetite for the game doesn’t seem logical, Bangladesh team’s recent endeavors in the ODIs give hope for the longer version of the game and it is only a matter of time before they find their feet in the most demanding aspect of cricket.
