West Indies
West Indian cricket is more than just a game: it serves as the heart and soul of communities across 15 English-speaking Caribbean nations that comprise the Windies, providing joy, frustration, elation, employment and inspiration to millions who live there. West Indian cricket’s rich history encompasses colonialism resistance movements; nationalism with larger than life dreams beyond cricket itself; migration fears due to economic conditions; as well as migration itself and migration for employment purposes – not forgetting some legendary cricket players such as Frank Worrell, Sir Garfield Sobers Rohan Kanhai Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards and Malcolm Marshall among others.
Windies cricketers have one of three teams to have won both the ICC Cricket World Cup (1975 and 1979, when it was known as Prudential Cup) as well as one ICC Champions Trophy (2004) and two World Twenty20 competitions (2012 and 2016, when known simply as World Twenty20). Furthermore, they reached three consecutive finals but failed to win any.
West Indies Cricket Board (WICB). Commonly referred to as “The Windies”, they have long been one of the world’s most acclaimed sporting teams.
The Windies are widely recognized for their fast bowlers, yet also boast some of the world’s greatest batsmen such as Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Shivnarine Chanderpaul who have helped them dominate T20 cricket over recent years. While their on-field performance sometimes falters amid disputes with WICB officials or on-field underperformance issues – yet they remain one of the strongest teams worldwide.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh Cricket Team is a professional national cricket team representing Bangladesh at both international and domestic cricket matches. Since their inaugural tournament, they have won multiple trophies and been recognized among Asia’s premier sides. Furthermore, the Bangladesh cricket team regularly takes part in International Cricket Council World Cup tournaments; currently led by Sheikh Nasrullah who previously chaired Pakistan Cricket Board until his resignation in August 2018.
Cricket began to make inroads into Bangladesh after independence, although not until the mid-70s did a league of local players form. The Bangladesh Cricket Control Board was created in 1975; however, other priorities took precedence at first due to war in Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is the governing body of all cricket in Bangladesh. As such, they determine playing conditions, tour their team around Bangladesh, and oversee player development. Being state owned, government appoint their president: the current one being Nazmul Hasan Papon who receives primary funding via sponsorship with Grameenphone serving as primary partner to both men’s and women’s national cricket teams.
Bangladesh became an Associate Member of the ICC in 1977, quickly making progress as they won both ICC Trophy in 1996 and qualified for their debut World Cup held in England 1999, making an impressive exit before winning one ODI against 1992 World Cup winners Pakistan in 2007. Going on to reach three further ODI finals without winning, including an agonising Nidahas Trophy final against India that ended with an agonising last ball loss – Bangladesh were on an upward curve!
Key Players
Bangladesh cricket team boasts an abundance of up-and-coming talents. Over recent years, their limited-overs cricket has become formidable; participation in T20 leagues around the world has provided valuable international experience; recent performances at ICC World Cups have also been impressive.
The team focuses on building their innings through partnerships rather than on running down runs quickly, using variations and smart field placement to contain batsmen. Fielding standards have improved significantly leading to more dismissals through catches and run-outs.
Mushfiqur Rahim, Mashrafe Mortaza and Shakib Al Hasan remain key components of Bangladesh cricket team, possessing both experience and determination in their approach to winning matches for their nation regardless of venue or format. They never hesitate to rise up when presented with new challenges – be they international tournaments or domestic t20 contests.
Mustafizur Rahman has emerged as an integral member of Bangladesh. Since debuting with off-cutters and slow deliveries that made headlines around the world, Mustafizur Rahman has established himself as one of the premier fast bowlers. His abilities have been demonstrated both in T20 and ODI cricket and were pivotal to its success.
Bangladesh’s current captain in all formats of cricket is Najmul Hossain Shanto, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz serves as vice-captain. Their batting lineup includes experienced players like Litton Das and Mominul Haque Sourav alongside younger talent like Jaker Islam Anik and Mahmudul Hasan Joy – as well as newcomers Jaker Islam Anik and Mahmudul Hasan Joy. Looking to establish themselves more strongly within Caribbean conditions, their tour to West Indies in April will prove pivotal; featuring two Test matches and three ODIs!
History
The West Indies cricket team, based in the Caribbean, serves as a national representative side for six nations that comprise Windward Islands: Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Leeward Islands & Saint Kitts and Nevis. The West Indies Cricket Board acts as the governing body of these teams; joining international governing body Imperial Cricket Conference in 1928.
The Windies were one of the world’s premier cricket teams during the 1970s and 1980s, earning themselves the moniker “Empire of Cricket.” Their powerful fast bowlers terrorized opponents while their explosive batting line-up led by Sir Vivian Richards redefined run scoring limits.
At the inaugural ICC Cricket World Cups (1975 and 1979), England were victorious; winning both titles was unprecedented at that time and her victory marked an unparalleled period of dominance that has yet to be matched by any other nation.
West Indies have won two ICC Champions Trophies (1984 and 2004) as well as two ICC World Twenty20 tournaments (2012 and 2016), the latter victory occurring in India when Carlos Braithwaite hit four sixes off the final ball to claim an astounding four-wicket win against Sri Lanka.
The Windies have long been one of the dominant forces in twenty20 cricket and have been at the forefront of its development ever since its conception. Their dominance in this form of cricket has earned them numerous accolades including winning both ICC T20 World Cups twice, as well as one T20 World Championship trophy.
Performance
Bangladesh has struggled to establish themselves on the world stage as a result of their consistent batting woes, yet appears to be slowly returning to form. Their latest victory came against Pakistan in a Test series; now, they hope to build on that success when taking on India in five-match ODI series which starts next month.
Bangladesh recently defeated Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series for the first time ever, becoming only the second team ever to do so. Unfortunately, after this victory they were unable to build on it and lost both subsequent matches while also suffering an outright whitewash against South Africa at home.
The two-match T20I series between India and Bangladesh will start on September 19, and is likely to feature Virat Kohli back into their side after making history by beating Pakistan 2-0 earlier in the series. On the other hand, Bangladesh are looking forward to another triumphant outing after winning their historic series victory against Pakistan earlier.
Bangladesh made their international cricket debut at the 1979 ICC Trophy in England, finishing with two wins and two defeats. Within 10 years they became full members of the International Cricket Council with Test and one-day international status, qualifying as one of sport’s biggest surprises for 1999 Cricket World Cup qualifying as one of three Asian minnows to qualify. Since 2000 Bangladesh have participated in every ICC Champions Trophy yet without winning it; nonetheless they have made great strides in development over time, becoming genuine Test threats.
