Bangladesh has become the first team in Test cricket history, whose 6 batsmen were dismissed without opening a tally in one innings of two consecutive Test matches. Bangladesh’s innings dropped to 103 runs on the first day of the test match against the West Indies on Thursday. In this, 6 players were offside. Previously, even in the first innings of the last Test against Sri Lanka, 6 players from Bangladesh were unable to open the account.
This has happened only 7 times in the history of Test cricket, when 6 players from one team have returned to the arena for love in the same innings. Of these, this has happened three times with Bangladesh. Bangladesh got this embarrassing record twice in the year 2022 and once in the year 2002. Even in 2002 against West Indies only 6 Bangladeshi players returned to the pavilion for love. At the same time, this has happened with Pakistan in 1980, South Africa in 1996, England in 2014 and New Zealand in 2018.
The Bangladeshi team is currently on a tour of the West Indies. A test match between the two teams is being played at North Sound here. Bangladeshi entries were down to 103 on the first day of the Test. Mahmudul, Najmool, Mominool, Nurul, Mustafizur and Khalid all went out scoreless. Captain Shakib Al Hasan pitched a 51-run inning to lead Bangladesh to over 100. Apart from Shakib, only Tamim Iqbal (29) and Litton Das (12) could break double figures. At the same time, Hasan Mirza returned to the arena after scoring 2 runs.
