The Bangladesh Cricket Team is the national cricket team
of the South Asian nation of Bangladesh. Though a comparatively
new entrant in the international cricket, Bangladesh has emerged
as one of the major cricket playing nations in Asia and the
world. The Bangladesh Cricket Team has recorded many stunning
victories against some of the world's leading cricket teams,
including Australia, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and West Indies.
They defeated a mighty Pakistani side in the 1999 Cricket
World Cup, and even stunned the world champion Australia,
defeating them by 5 wickets in the 2005 NatWest Series in
England. Bangladesh is a full member of the International
Cricket Council with Test and one-day international status.
Nick-named as the Tigers - after the Royal Bengal Tigers-
the Bangladeshi Cricket Team has earned a good respect among
cricket fans worldwide, and the team holds great prospects
for the future.
Bangladesh is placed in Group B of the ICC World Cup 2007
groupings, along with India, Sri Lanka and Bermuda. The team
will start its 2007 World Cup campaign against India on March
17, 2007 in Trinidad and Tobago.
