adminNEW DELHI. — Bangladesh will need a dramatic turn in fortunes to ensure another Cricket World Cup does not cause more misery after the Tigers endured a morale-sapping year in which they slumped from one defeat to another.
Bangladesh failed to register wins for most of 2014 till fellow wooden-spooners Zimbabwe came calling at the end of the year and were duly thrashed 3-0 in Tests and 5-0 in the one-dayers.
It was only Zimbabwe the Tigers had beaten, but fanatical fans in the South Asian nation celebrated as if the World Cup itself had been won.
Bangladesh have struggled at Test level — winning just seven of their 88 Tests since their debut in 2000 — but have always appeared more suited to the shorter format where they have recorded creditable wins. — AFP.
