In the very first press conference the newly appointed president of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) stated that he would try his level best to arrange an India tour for Bangladesh team. It is, however, not clear why the board is focusing more on organizing matches with some particular countries than trying to increase the number of test matches for Bangladesh. Big teams such as South Africa, England, Sri Lanka play approximately four matches in every bilateral series. On the other hand, Bangladesh hardly plays four test matches in a calendar year! Hence, it is cer5tain that one or two additional test series against teams like India or Pakistan will not bring big changes in our cricketing scenario but bring enormous financial benefit for the Board. So, BCB should emphasise more to enhance the number of matches for Bangladesh team. Moreover, now Bangladesh is the vice-president ICC. Therefore, we have got the opportunity to bring some positive changes in Future Tour Programs (FTP) of ICC. By not getting biased we can bring significant changes for Bangladesh cricket. However, we need to focus more on these practical issues.
