Best Test XI for major Test teams in the last 20 years

#2 Bangladesh

Shakib is a phenomenon

One of the emerging teams in world cricket, Bangladesh have taken giant strides towards being better since playing their first Test match in 2000 against India. Due to the inconsistent composure and by lacking the knockout punch in crunch situations, they have been lingering on the bottom of the table for quite some time now. However, in the current squad players like Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim and Tamim Iqbal have shown the way to excel in Test cricket in their own way. Let us take a look at how Bangladesh's best test XI would look like from the past two decades.

Shakib Al Hasan

Mushfiqur Rahim (wk)
