Second Test - Bangladesh v Sri Lanka: Day 3
Second Test - Bangladesh v Sri Lanka: Day 3

Since 2014, Bangladesh have won six Tests. Five of these wins came in home Tests while the victory against Sri Lanka in 2017 came at Colombo, Sri Lanka. In the same span, the sub-continent nation lost ten Tests. Three defeats in Bangladesh and seven in overseas Tests.

Outside Asia, Bangladesh hasn't won any Tests and all their overseas defeats have been massive defeats. In Asian conditions, the Bangla tigers are a competitive unit but they lack the skills and the experience for excelling in overseas conditions.

After reaping heavy success in home Tests, Bangladesh will surely play more overseas Tests in the next few years. These Tests would be the biggest challenge for them as currently their Test team is modelled according to the requirements of sub-continent conditions.

For winnings Tests outside Asia, Bangladesh requires a reliable and skilled pace artillery which has plenty of variations and stamina to bowl for longer periods. Also, their batsmen have to learn the art of negotiating the moving ball which currently they are not capable of.
