Bangladesh cricket

The history of cricket in Bangladesh predates the foundation of the Bangladeshi state in 1971 by nearly two centuries.
 Now a days cricket is most popular game in Bangladesh. 

After winning the 1997 ICC Trophy and making a good showing at the 1999 Cricket world cup . Bangladesh created its national cricket league (NCL) in 1999–2000 to prepare the way for full membership of the ICC. 

This was granted in 2000 and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was formally established. In November 2000, the Bangladesh national cricket 

team played its inaugural Test match against India at the Banghnondhu National Cricket Studiam in Dhaka.

Bangladesh holds the record for most consecutive losses in Tests (21, between 2000 and 2002) and ODIs (23, between 2001 and 2004). 

After gaining full member status with the ICC, Bangladesh had to wait until 2004 for its first ODI win since the 1999 World Cup
