All Test Playing countries are rushing to Bangladesh for following reasons:
1. They are sure to win the test series with a whitewash. So, their Test cricket record is improved. 2. Their Batsmen get golden opportunity to score centuries and improve their batting records. Even Sachin Tendulkar could never resist his temptations to play against Bangladesh and rushed to play against Bangladsh. His highest test score is against Bangladesh.
Test teams of New Zealand, Pakistan and West Indies are also in miserable condition. ICC must review the Test Status of these countries as well.
But Bangladesh must be first kicked out for consistent pathetic record since it got Test status.
Bangladesh should be immediately stripped of test status. Obviously they do not have any talent. If they cannot become do it in ten years then they will never do it. They do not have a single player who qualifies to be in a second tier team like WI, Pakistan or Zimbabwe.

Bangladesh has quality players like Shakib, Tamim, Mahmudullah and Mushfiq who can be part of any team. This is especially true for Shakib and Tamim who can be part of a team like SA. Also they had to take 16 English wickets in the first innings because of umpiring decision. England would be all out for less than 300 if umpiring was fair. BD really is improving. Given the fact that almost all their player are 21 or 22, they may become a formidable team in two to three years. Be patient with them until that time.

I strongly agree with Priyaranjan.Shakib, Tamim, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur have proved their metal at international level. They have raw talent in Shahadat, Rubel and Shafiul too but it needs to be polished through a good bowling coach. Naeem Islam and Abdur Razzaq are also decent and make impact at times.

all these are pathetic they seriously don't know which format they are playing. You cannot play t20 shots when chips are down in Test Match.. and 10yrs is enough time for team to prove..Ireland is being wasted outside test nation. Kenya was far better than BD till 2003. but lack of promotion team talent fade away otherwise they would have been good team.. Zimbabwe won within 6yrs of Test cricket series in Pakistan(Wasim,Younis) top side. But due to political problems they lost good players. since 2000 teams have good technology to support its team still if BD cannot improve then sorry play only against low teams not with India,Aus,Eng RSA lanka

Cricket is shrinking fast.The filthy money in IPL may be able to annihilate International cricket in near future.
