Who are we playing against after August 09

[Eshen]

IMO, BCB should push the home serie against England to mid March so that players get a breather after NZ tour.

BCB is planning to arrange the first Test in Chittagong on 17-21 January, and second Test in Mirpur on 24-28 Janaury.

SLC has not yet confirmed Lanka team's participation in tri-nation, only BCCI has.

is this a tri nation where we play 4 group games, or one of those worthless ones where we just play 2 group games???

BCB will decide on the itinerary and budget of the tourny on the 18th. There will a two weeks time frame between teams arrive in Bangladesh and the start of the Test series. A double round league followed by a final should not be out of question.

How do you guys know all these lol. I am really looking forward to that ENG series. We don't get to play them that much.

[auntu]

What is this suppose to mean?

February 2010 New Zealand VS Bangladesh (1 Test, 3 ODI and 2 T20) (AWAY)

Only One test? Why? Can anyone confirm this.

just checked FTP again. It is actually 2 test and 3 ODI. It does not mention about T20.

[ausbangfan]

i think they must have changed the details of the our to New Zealand, as when I looked at it it said only 1 test, 3 ODI's and 2 T20's.

Now I'm sure It's going to be 2 Tests and there might be 1 T20.

[Rocksta]

i am shocked to see that how many matches ICC associates team are getting now a days?? even they play intercontinental cup which is 4-day match tournament. no wonder that team like Ireland is doing good in internation cricket and they will be a better test team after they got test status and after 10 years they'll be very good team.

Overall I don't think this is too bad. There's still plenty of cricket to look forward to.
So from October 2009-May 2010, in 8 months Bangladesh play
7 test matches (India, NZ, England)
18-23 ODI matches (Zim, Ind, Sri, NZ, Eng as well as participants in Asia Cup)
minimum of 4 T20's (NZ and WT20 participants)

Out of these I think Bangladesh should be aiming for 1 test win, 8-10 ODI wins and 2 T20 wins.

Interesting to see that New Zealand have only scheduled one test against Bangladesh. Let's hope this does not become a trend that other countries will follow. Maybe in November/December 2009 Bangladesh can organize some fixtures against the likes of Ireland, Kenya and Afghanistan for a couple of ODI's. This will help both teams. I would prefer these fixtures then another series against Zimbabwe.

Where did you get the information that in NZ we shall play only 1 test? In cricinfo calendar it is still showing 2 tests.

They knows they will struggle in BD like NZ did last year because of the condition/pitch

And as far as i remember Eng batters did not done a good job when they played BD in BD back in 2004.

[nycpro96]

Wow. That's a lot of cricket to come.

True it is... and our beloved Steve Tikolo is blasting with 158 and 167 runs in both innings against Canada. Had he been an Indian,,,? well, he wouldve been one of the bests, I reckon.

[Purbasha T]

Still man! We played Zimbabwe already. So from end of Aug to end of Dec, we're playing no one else. How will I spend the days in-between? Masi maira?

[zainab]

I dont see any mention of the Asia cup. Is'nt it played every two years?

[IanW]

Zanaib,

Hopefully it isnt played at all.

Personally, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if anything other than Bangladesh newspapers or the very theoretical FTP were being quoted.

Ian

[Roni_uk]

Zim will be a good practice before all the BIG matches. I can't wait. Hopefully nsallah I will follow the Lions in March going to the tigers.

[BANFAN]

Lots of cricket till next T20 WC. Playing Zim a bit too much though. I am expecting a series with WI soon after they settle their disputes.

[Eshen]

BTW, don't forget about U/21 T20 competition in SA games that will take place on Jan 29 - Feb 8 at Dhaka.

National team should at NZ that time. U/19 team may be over there too (for U/19 WC) at that time. So, we may have a very limited pool of players for the competition.

Watch out for Afghan and Nepali teams.

11th South Asian Games to start in January 2010

New Zealand is not offering any practice match to Bangladesh team!
