5 biggest reasons why Bangladesh cricket has improved so much

#1 Mashrafe - The captain

The leader of Bangladesh

Above everything, I think the greatest reason why the Bangladesh cricket team are flourishing is because of the astute leadership of ODI captain, Mashrafe Mortaza. Ever since he was reinstated as captain, the Tigers have risen steadily.

Be it beating England at the World Cup 2015 or winning ODI series at home against Pakistan, India and South Africa – Bangladesh’s rise ever since he assumed leadership has been more than just impressive.

He might have only been the captain of the limited overs for Bangladesh – only stepping down from T20Is some months ago – but the improvement the Tigers in ODI has also seen them better their game in Tests. They are fresh off from a win against Sri Lanka – which also happened to be their 100th Test – as they now await Australia.
