There was lot of blood shed, but eventually their struggle ended in freedom.
In 1976-77, an MCC team led by former captain of ESSEX and then the England sector Brian Taylor came on a tour of Bangladesh. This team played four test matches. Three of them ended in a draw but on a matting wicket in Chittagong, Mcc won by an innings. Bangladesh may not have won the match, but the important thing was that 40,000 people turned up to watch the game in 3 days. In the next International competition, Sri Lanka emerged victorious.
By now Bangladesh is recognized by many people and nations. Bangladesh is also taking part in World Cup matches as well. They even knocked out India in the 2007 ICC World Cup match.
