Bangladesh (and Zimbabwe) gets shafted in the preliminary FTP plan

[Tiger444]

To be honest, can't really be that upset about it. In order to get respect, we have to win more matches. No way around that. We can complain all we want about ICC wanting cricket to be elitist or blame BCCI but we really haven't made a strong case. We still have only 3 test wins and still struggle to win ODIs against the top teams. In order to get more matches, we have to win more and I'm confident we'll win more often. Winning more test matches will definitely get us more respect. So that's why our test matches against Zimbabwe, West Indies and Pakistan are very crucial.
