* Basically the success in country's sports revolves around cricket and 2010 was no exception. Bangladesh did achieve some success in the South Asian Games, Commonwealth Games and Asian Games.

* The country won 97 medals including 18 gold in the SA Games, remarkably winning the football title after eleven years.
* Abahani claimed a hattrick of Bangladesh League titles this year.
* Shooters Sharmin Akhter Ratna and Sadia Sultana won the pair 10m air rifles gold in the Commonwealth Shooting Championship.
* But Asif Hossain Khan and Abdullah Hel Baki disappointed in the Delhi Commonwealth Games to only win a bronze medal.
* The first gold in the Asian Games was achieved this year. The men's cricket team broke the jinx while the women won silver.
* Hockey was the headache of 2010. A disputed Club Cup final, the subsequent demotion of Usha Krira Chakra and a miserable fifth place finish in the Asian Games qualifying competition.
* The government's fondness of ad-hoc committees for the different sporting federations was another Achilles' heel.
* The country lost a true hero, SAF Games gold medallist athletic Mahbub Alam passing away in a tragic road accident.
