Two decades of Test cricket

Today marks the completion of two decades since Bangladesh first took the field to play their inaugural Test match against India at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in 2000. Led by Naimur Rahman, Bangladesh became only the second team after Zimbabwe to post over 400 runs in their inaugural Test. Aminul Islam became Bangladesh's first Test centurion and his 145 was the second-highest by any player in a country's inaugural Test after Charles Bannerman's unbeaten 165 in 1877. However, there have been more disappointments than achievements in the Tigers' track record in the longest format. Tests: 119, Won: 14, Lost: 89, Drawn; 16 matches, Winning percentage: 11.76.
