Bangladesh known as the minnows in ODI cricket have made rapid progress in the last few years and have emerged as a strong team. But have they developed enough to become a major force in ODI cricket? The ICC World Cup 2019 will answer this question.
Bangladesh reached the quarter-final stage in the last edition of the World Cup and they will be hoping to replicate those heroics.
Bangladesh bank on strong core
The core players of Bangladesh are highly experienced and the onus of taking Bangladesh through the World Cup lies on their shoulders. Tamim Iqbal is one of the best opening batsmen in international cricket for now while Mushiqur Rahim is a capable middle-order batsman.
Shakib Al Hasan has plenty of experience and he balances the side with his handy batting and effective spin bowler. And they have a cool minded leader at the top in the form of Mashrafe Mortaza whose pace bowling has some venom.
