<i>Our future in Test cricket</i>

Over the past couple of years, Bangladesh cricket team has shown a great deal of promise after the spectacular performances in both the 50 overs and 20 overs World Cup in the Caribbean and South Africa. However, all our hopes were shattered after their dismal performance recently against the Kiwis in New Zealand. Even though they won the T-20 match against the Kiwis, they however proved their inconsistency in the other formats of the game. I think we all know that this young Bangladeshi team is extremely talented, after seeing their amazing performance against great teams like Australia and South Africa, but they are not making the best use of this talent and the reason behind this, according to me, is their lack of confidence and self-belief. The T-20 format of the game is more suited for teams like Bangladesh, as they are used to collapsing suddenly after scoring some quick runs, but this habit of them certainly won't help them in the other versions of the game and we have seen a lot of disasters occurring due to this. I believe the coaches and the players should concentrate on improving in these formats of the game, especially in Test cricket and we expect better results from them in the future.
