Bangladesh v India at Bangabandhu National Stadium , Dhaka , 10–13 November 2000 Captain Official ICC Test , ODI and T20I ranking 9th (Test), 9th (ODI), 9th (T20I) Test matches v West Indies at Shere Bangla National Stadium , Bangladesh, 13–17 Novemmber 2012 (In progress) Wins/losses As of 15 November 2012 The Bangladesh national cricket team (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ জাতীয় ক্রিকেট দল) is a national cricket team representing Bangladesh. The team is administered by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).Bangladesh is a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) with Test and One Day International (ODI) status. It played its first Test match in 2000 against India in Dhaka, becoming the tenth Test cricket playing nation.

Bangladesh's first official foray into international cricket came in the 1979 ICC Trophy in England, leaving the tournament with 2 wins and 2 defeats. Bangladesh made debut in international Cricket through Asia cup in 1986, it is the picture of that historic team. Origin of Bangladesh The borders of Bangladesh, previously 1947-1955 were set by the Partition of British India in 1947, when it became the eastern wing of Pakistan and known as 1955-1970. It was separated from the main (western) part of Pakistan by some 1,600 km (990 mi) of volatile Indian Territory, hostile towards them. Despite their common religion of Islam, the ethnic and linguistic gulf between the two parts of Pakistan, compounded by an apathetic government based in the west, resulted in the independence of Bangladesh under the leadership of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1971 after the bloody Bangladesh Liberation War, in which it was morally supported by the Republic of India. Bangladesh formally declared its independence from Pakistan on 26 March 1971.

This was confirmed on the new nation's Victory Day of 16 December 1971 Timeline 1780: It stands established that organized cricket in India began in Calcutta (current Kolkata), a major city of Bengal. Early English expatriates banded together to form the Calcutta Cricket Club. The earliest mention of this club is found in the 48th issue of Hickys Bengal Gazette, dated from Saturday December 16 to Saturday December 23, 1780 where the newspaper reported that the Gentlemen of the Calcutta Cricket Club are getting themselves into Wind, and preparing to take the Field, for a very active Campaign (sic). With its tentative year of birth at 1780, the Calcutta Cricket Club becomes senior to the Marylebone Cricket Club, which was established in 1787, by a clear margin of seven years. The London-based MCC, which was still a few years ago the parent body of cricket, still holds an eminent position in the world of cricket.

1792: Englishmen residing in the districts of Barrackpore and Dum Dum play a cricket match (Source: February 23, 1792, the Madras Courier). This particular cricket match was in all likelihood played on the "maidan (town square)" opposite the Raj Bhavan. The assumption is based on the reason that a scorecard of another match played in January, 1804, survives to convey to us that teams representing Old Etonians and Calcutta Cricket Club dueled on the same ground. Incidentally, the year 1792 is officially recognized by Wisden cricket almanac as the date of establishment for Calcutta, making it the oldest surviving cricket club outside the British Isles. 1926: (Unofficial) Test cricket comes to Eden Gardens in Calcutta on the last day of 1926 with Arthur Gilligan leading the MCC team; India was still not an official test nation. MCC had come at the invitation of Calcutta Cricket Club and the Bengal Gymkhana was one of its principal patrons.

1934: The Ranji Trophy, named after the famous Indian cricketer Ranjitsinhji, commences in India. 1935: The first Bengal team takes part in the second Ranji Trophy. 1947: After the partition of Bengal in 1947, matches of domestic cricket in Pakistan were conducted in four leagues. Regional East Bengali of Pakistan teams regularly took part in the first-class Quaid-e-Azam trophy from 1954 through 1968. 1955-1969: Seven international Test matches with Pakistan participating as the host team were played in Dhaka between 1955 and 1969. The first test was held between Pakistan and the Republic of India in January 1955. The match started on the first day of the year. The newly-built Dacca (now "Dhaka") then had the maximum capacity of accommodating 15,000 spectators. According to an old follower of Dacca cricket, the full house crowd gave a standing ovation to both the captains, Abdul Hafeez Kardar and Vinoo Mankad, as they walked out to toss.

The match was drawn. The next match at the Bangabandhu National Stadium was played between Pakistan and New Zealand from November 7 to 12 the same year. Legendary batsman Hanif Mohammad scored his second Test century (103). Besides, his compatriot Khan Mohammad returned with his career best bowling figures of 6 for 21. This match also ended in a draw. The third Test was played at the Bangabandhu National Stadium between Pakistan and West Indies in March 1959. In the low-scoring match, Pakistan recorded their only Test win at Dhaka by 41 runs, mainly because of their famous fast bowler Fazal Mahmood, who took 12 wickets, six in each innings, for 100 runs. Then came Australia in the November of the same year under the leadership of Richie Benaud and they defeatedPakistan by eight wickets. This was also Pakistan's only Test defeat at Dhaka. The fifth Test at the Bangabandhu National Stadium was played in January 1962 between Pakistan and England.

Although the match ended in a draw, it was a personal landmark for Hanif Mohammad who scored centuries (111 and 104) in both the innings. The next match was also played between Pakistan and England after seven years in February 1969. The most notable feature of the match was the presence of all-rounder Basil D'Oliveira, who scored an unbeaten 114 in the first innings The last, but not the least, Test between Pakistan and New Zealand was played in November of the same year. Kiwi skipper Glen Turner hammered a century (110) in that match, which also concluded in a draw. 1972: The Bangladesh Cricket Control Board is established. Soon after, a cricket league commences in Dhaka and Chittagong. It is a slow start, other things having priority in the war-torn country. Early in 1975 the Dhaka (then "Dacca") stadium was still in disrepair, the square having sunk several inches and the Press Club shell-torn. 1974/75: A national level cricket tournament begins in the country.

1st division and 2nd division cricket leagues start at the districts level. Other tournaments that were organized included National Youth Cricket, Inter-university Cricket, College & School Cricket, Shahid Smriti Cricket, Damal Summer Cricket and Star Summer Cricket. 1976/77: Robin Marlar writes Whither Bangladesh, a detailed description of Bangladesh cricket's state of affairs and a yearning to see Bangladesh in the international stage. Bangladesh Cricket Board officials become more alert and enthusiastic after this international exposure. After the completion of the 1975-76 domestic season, Bangladesh Cricket Control Board's acting secretary Reza-e-Karim writes to the International Cricket Council (then called the International Cricket Conference), requesting ICC membership status for Bangladesh. The ICC replies, suggests the BCCB to invite the Marelybone Cricket Club, and that their decision rests on MCC's post-tour report. Reza-e-Karim drafts the first constitution of the BCCB and in May, 1977 invites the MCC to Bangladesh. In June, 1976, the membership of Bangladesh is discussed in an ICC meeting. The meeting decides to finalize Bangladesh's membership status after the MCC tours Bangladesh.

The MCC arrives at Dhaka for their first Bangladesh tour on December 27, 1976 and helps build the enthusiasm; over 40,000 people attend the representative match at Dacca. On July 26, 1977, Bangladesh becomes an Associate member of the I.C.C. The BCCB seeks coaching help from the MCC. The MCC sends Bangladesh her first foreign cricket coach, an Englishman named Robert Jones. 1978: In January, Sri Lanka, yet to be a test team, tours Bangladesh. In February, the Deccan Blues, an Indian team of famous first-class cricketers, tours Bangladesh for a three-day match against the BCCB XI. In December, the MCC arrives in Bangladesh for the second time in a tour that lasts until 14 January 1979. 1979: Bangladesh appears in the first ICC trophy in England. Bangladeshis win matches against Fiji and Malaysia. 1980: In January, Pakistan tours Bangladesh for a 2-day match in Chittagong and a 3-day sellout match in Dacca.

The crowd's misbehavior toward Pakistani players abruptly ends the Chittagong match, and the tour. 1980/81: The MCC tours Bangladesh for the third time. 1982: An Indian first-class team, the Hyderabad Blues, boasting five Indian test players, visits Bangladesh in January. In May–July, 1982, Bangladesh takes part in its second ICC trophy competition and finishes fourth among sixteen national teams . 1983: In March, 1983, a West Bengal team tours Bangladesh.

Earlier in the year, Bangladesh toured Pakistan for the first time. 1988: In January, Bangladesh takes part and wins the second South-East Asia trophy, defeating Hong Kong.

In February, 1990, a team from Denmark tours Bangladesh. In March, 1990, Pakistan and India takes part in a two-match series. Bangladesh, the host country, is a surprising absentee. In April, 1990, Bangladesh takes part in the Australasia Cup in Sharjah and plays against New Zealand and Australia for the first time in group matches.

Mohammad Ashraful is the hero with a run-a-ball century. Brief summary Early in 1975, the Dhaka (then "Dacca") stadium was in disrepair, the square having sunk several inches and the Press Club shell-torn. The M.C.C. tour in 1976/77 helped to build the enthusiasm; over 40,000 people attended the representative match at Dhaka. In 1977, Bangladesh became an Associate member of the International Cricket Council. Two further M.C.C. teams toured in 1978/79 and 1980/81. The standard of cricket quickly rose, and soon Bangladesh was the top ICC associate country in the region, winning all ACC tournaments. This gave them the opportunity to play in the Asia Cup, against teams like India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

The Third Asia Cup took place in Bangladesh in 1988 with India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka participating as well as the host country. In 1989/90, Bangladesh played hosts to the First Under-19 Asia Cup. In 1997, Bangladesh won the ICC Trophy in Malaysia, qualifying for its first ever world cup appearance. Soon after, Bangladesh, along with Kenya was granted full ODI status by the ICC. Bangladesh posted its first ODI win against Kenya in India in 1998. In October 1998, Bangladesh hosted—although they did not participate—the first ever "Mini World Cup", a knock-out basis ODI tournament featuring all the test playing nations. In 1999, in their maiden appearance at the World Cup in England, Bangladesh defeated fellow ICC associate Scotland, and then won a match from favorites Pakistan. As a reward of bright performance in ICC and World Cup, Bangladesh was given the status of the 10th test playing nation on the 26 June 2000.

As the famous ex-cricketer Ali Bacher of South Africa noted during his visit to Dhaka, 'the game of cricket has great prospects in a country like Bangladesh where there is cricket on the streets, cricket in the schools, in the villages, a competitive league, and Friday cricket—drawing crowds of spectators who love the game in all its forms.' The game, having shed its aristocratic restrictions, prospers at the very grass-roots of Bangladeshi society. In the 2007 Cricket World Cup on March 17, 2007, Bangladesh beat India by a 5 wicket margin to advance to the Super 8 stage, where they beat South Africa by a 67-run margin on April 7, 2007. Domestic cricket in Bangladesh Cricket has been played in India since the 18th century and it continued to be played in first Pakistan and then Bangladesh as these countries became politically independent. Bangladesh had staged first-class and even Test cricket when it was part of Pakistan. The Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka was first used for Test cricket when Pakistan played India there in January 1955.

It was used for numerous important matches, including Tests, right up to the declaration of independence in 1971. The MA Aziz Stadiumin Chittagong also dates back to 1954 as a first-class venue but it was not used for Tests until Bangladesh played there in 2001. The beginning of Bangladesh's own first-class era (i.e., as an independent state) began when the national team played England an in Chittagong on 25–27 October 1999. The match was drawn. On 10–13 November 2000, Bangladesh played its inaugural Test Match v India in the Bangabandhu National Stadium. India won by 9 wickets. The 2000-01 seasons saw the beginning of first-class domestic competition in Bangladesh, although the country had already staged first-class matches against touring teams in the previous year. The Green Delta League was constituted as the first-class championship and the Ispahani Mirzapore Tea One-Day League as the premier limited over competition. In 2000-01, both titles were won by Biman Bangladesh Airlines.

The move to award them Test status was viewed with scepticism by most people as Bangladesh hadn t done enough to prove their credentials at the highest level, save for the stunning victory over Pakistan at the 1999 World Cup.

By Nishad Pai Vaidya | Updated : July 13, 2014 3:07 AM IST Sunil Joshi… five wickets in Bangladesh’s first innings followed by a knock of 92 the highest score of the Indian reply batting at No 8 © Getty Images On November 10, 2000, the iconic Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka played host to the historic entry of Bangladesh into Test cricket. The move to award them Test status was viewed with scepticism by most people as Bangladesh hadn’t done enough to prove their credentials at the highest level, save for the stunning victory over Pakistan at the 1999 World Cup . However, they were up for the contest on their big day and gave India a few nervous moments,until the tourists unleashed their superiority. Twelve years on, Bangladesh are still an enigma — a team that boasts of much promise, but without the necessary consistency. 14 debutants Naimur Rahman had the honour of captaining his country in their first-ever Test. Interestingly, it was Sourav Ganguly ’s first Test as India captain — the start of a journey that saw memorable victories in the years that followed.

Apart from the eleven Bangladeshi debutants, India introduced three new players to the Test arena. Shiv Sunder Das was yet another man India tried during that uncertain phase at the top. Syed Saba Karim was making a remarkable comeback to international cricket on the very ground he tragically injured his eye a few months prior to the game. Zaheer Khan also walked into Test cricket following an encouraging performance in One-Day Internationals (ODIs). Aminul Islam and Habibul Bashar helped Bangladesh pile 400 in the first innings after they elected to bat first. The fluent Bashar — he is one the best-ever batsmen produced by Bangladesh — raced to 71. However, Aminul was gritty and very attritional. Nevertheless, his knock of 145 braved the odds stacked against them and handled the pressure of the occasion very well. That he batted for 535 minutes was a tremendous achievement. His vigil is still is the third highest score for his country. In reply, India moved along smoothly until they lost wickets in a heap and found themselves at 236 for six.

It was a precarious position and India certainly wouldn’t have wanted to suffer the embarrassment of conceding the lead. Sourav Ganguly and Sunil Joshi then reconstructed the innings and took India to 429. What followed was astonishing, but not surprising. Bangladesh were bundled out for 91, leaving India with 63 to win —a task they completed without any worries. If one looks at the scorecard of Bangladesh’s first Test, it does reflect a lot about their cricket. Even 12 years after that game, it makes an interesting reading and is of immense relevance. The first half of the game shows a good fight from Bangladesh, one that was truly commendable given the fact that it was their first Test. The second half is where it all went awry, as inexperience hurt them and they collapsed. While Bangladesh have improved since that game, they still continue to exhibit such mediocrity with just a few sparks of brilliance. In all, Bangladesh have played 73 Test matches and have recorded only three victories. One of them was against Zimbabwe while the other two were against a weakened West Indies side that was missing all its frontline players.

Through all that they have recorded seven draws — some of them being fighting performances that presented hope for a better tomorrow. However, the figure of 63 defeats is what is worrying and doesn’t justify the move taken in 2000. There have been occasions where Bangladesh have shown tremendous fight and the intent to make a mark. The most memorable occasion was when they ran Ricky Ponting ’s formidable Australians close at Fatullah in 2006. Australia actually had their backs to the wall and ultimately fought back to win the game. Such performances have been few and far in between, lost in the midst of a number of appalling defeats. Bangladesh have lost by an innings and over hundred runs on 19 occasions — a stat that shows they haven’t matched their opponents on a number of occasions. With the frequency of such performances, they don’t get too many Test assignments and that does impede their growth. Another interesting fact is that they have played a three-match Test series only twice in all these years. Majority of their series have been two match affairs with a few solitary contests. They are yet to tour India, which is surprising considering they have hosted them on a number of occasions.

Astonishingly, according to the Future Tours Programme (FTP), they aren’t slated to visit their neighbours anytime until 2020. The numbers are stacked against Bangladesh and they have a few hurdles to cross before they make a climb. The world awaits their true arrival at the biggest stage. With players such as Shakib Al Hasan , Tamim Iqbal , Nasir Hossain and Mashrafe Mortaza to name a few in their ranks, Bangladesh can hope for a much better time ahead. However, the promise has to be converted into performance and the team has to get their act together as a unit. The last 12 years certainly haven’t panned out the way one would have imagined when they recorded a total of 400 in their very first essay.

Bangladesh National Cricket Team বাংলাদেশ জাতীয় ক্রিকেট দল [[File:|none|200px|]] First Test match v India India at Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dhaka, 10–13 November 2000 Captain Mushfiqur Rahim - Test Current ICC Test, ODI and T20I ranking 9th (Test) 7th (ODI) All-time best ICC Test, ODI and T20I ranking 9th (Test) 7th (ODI) – This year 93 0 Last Test match v South Africa South Africa at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur, 30 July – 3 August 2015 Wins/losses 0/0 As of 3 August 2015 The Bangladesh national cricket team (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ জাতীয় ক্রিকেট দল), nicknamed the Tigers, represents Bangladesh in international cricket.

It is administered by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Bangladesh is a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) with Test and One Day International (ODI) status. It played its first Test match in November of 2000 against India in Dhaka, becoming the tenth Test-playing nation. Bangladesh's first official foray into international cricket came in the 1979 ICC Trophy in England. On 31 March 1986, Bangladesh played its first ODI match, against Pakistan in the Asia Cup. For a long time, football was the most popular sport in Bangladesh, but cricket gradually became very popular – particularly in urban areas – and by the late 1990s had surpassed football. Bangladesh made its full debut in international cricket in the 1986 Asia Cup. In 1997, Bangladesh won the ICC Trophy in Malaysia and thus qualified for its first Cricket World Cup to participate in England in 1999. There, it defeated Pakistan – causing much upset – and also Scotland. On 26 June 2000, Bangladesh was granted full ICC membership.

Bangladesh holds the record for most consecutive losses in Tests (21, between 2000 and 2002) and ODIs (23, between 2001 and 2004). After gaining full member status with the ICC, Bangladesh had to wait until 2004 for its first ODI win since the 1999 World Cup. The team on the losing side on that occasion was Zimbabwe, who also participated in Bangladesh's maiden Test victory in 2005; by securing a draw in the second match, Bangladesh won their first Test series. In 2009 Bangladesh toured the West Indies for two Tests and by winning both secured their first overseas series victory. As of 3 August 2015, Bangladesh has played 93 Tests, winning only seven. Its first victory was against a young and inexperienced Zimbabwe team, which was hit by a player crisis; the next two were against a West Indian team.

In a press release, BCCI president Anurag Thakur said it was the responsibility of the board to give opportunities to all Test playing nations to come to India. “As a leading Test playing nation it is BCCI’s responsibility to give opportunity… Carmelo Anthony leads Knicks by example with big-time shots There is a toughness flowing from Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks. And that is beginning to make a difference. Sure, the Knicks still have a way of falling asleep in games and Sunday night at the Garden they watched a 21-point lead shrink to one, but while DeMarcus Cousins was not able to hit two big shots down the stretch for the Kings, there was Anthony sinking a vital 3-pointer and a running jumper to make the difference as the Knicks came away with the 106-98 victory. And this was a game Anthony had to leave for a bit in the first quarter after taking a shot to the mouth, jamming his teeth into his lower lip. Lately he really is becoming Mr. Big Shot for the Knicks, ...

Once among the best in the league, the Capitals’ power play is flailing TORONTO — On the back of the T-shirts the Washington Capitals designed for this season is a command: “Own the big moments.” Coach Barry Trotz identified one of those moments on Saturday night, when the team was down by two goals halfway through the game in Toronto and back-to-back penalties by the Maple Leafs gave the Capitals 24 seconds of five-on-three. Washington got off two shots during the two-man advantage, both wide misses by John Carlson, and as the puck bounded out of the offensive zone on the second miss, the Capitals looked deflated. “A big moment for us where we could’ve jumped back into that game,” Trotz said after the 4-2 loss. The team’s once-vaunted power play, consistently among... 49ers’ Chip Kelly says he’s not returning to Oregon ORLANDO - Chip Kelly isn’t going back to school. At least not the school he left four years ago. Today, less than 24 hours after Oregon fired head coach Mark Helfrich, the 49ers head coach responded “no” when asked if there was any chance he would be Oregon’s next head coach.

So he intends to remain with the 49ers, who will bring a 1-10 record into their meeting at Chicago on Sunday? “Yep,” Kelly said. “So we’re done with that, I hope.” Kelly said he spoke this morning with Helfrich, who is a close friend, but that has been the extent of his contact with his old school. “The only person I’ve talked to is Helf,” Kelly said. “So we can talk about the Bears. I have... Kirk Cousins needs a little Josh Norman, and Josh Norman needs a little Kirk Cousins This Redskins team has two emotional thermostats: Kirk Cousins on offense, and Josh Norman on defense. Cousins is carefully calibrated at a pleasant 67 degrees, and any moment of warmth comes with an immediate apology and a glass of water. Norman is a constant inferno who isn’t happy unless everyone around him is drenched in sweat. Both men have made their temperaments work; they’re two of Washington’s best and most irresistible players. But here’s a modest suggestion: Cousins might benefit if he added a dash of Josh Norman’s urgency and fire to his game. And Norman wouldn’t suffer from adopting a sprinkle of Captain Kirk’s cool.

Thursday’s 31-26 loss to the Cowboys drove that point home. Cousins was brilliant for almost the entire game, throwing for an absurd 449 yards... Golden State Warriors top Los Angeles Lakers for 10th straight win LOS ANGELES -- Despite a 24-point rout of the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr wasn't impressed. "It was one of the worst basketball games I've seen in my life," Kerr said. "We were awful, and they were awful. The people who bought tickets should get their money back, honestly. I'm not trying to make a joke; it was a horrible basketball game." Kevin Durant had 29 points, nine assists and six rebounds, and the Warriors won their 10th straight with a 109-85 victory over the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night at Staples Center. Durant was surprised to hear Kerr's assessment, but agreed the Warriors weren't at their best. "It's not like we're going out there with no sense of urgency or... Death, taxes, AFC East: This just isn’t fair for Jets The Jets can be eliminated from contention for the AFC East crown with a loss on Sunday to the Patriots.

Stop laughing. I’m just reporting the facts. I know we have all assumed the Jets were not winning the division since September. It is the 14th straight year the Jets will go without winning the division, a reminder of what a nightmare it is to play in the same division as Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, who are rolling toward their eighth straight division crown and 13th in 14 years. Remember the hot days of August when people were actually asking if the Patriots were vulnerable because of Brady’s suspension? Idiots. Every year it is the same story in the AFC East. People wonder if this is the ...

Posted by Cricket In Zimbabwe Zimbabwe Becoming a Test nation in 1992, Zimbabwe is one of the newest nations that has been granted the status of the test. However, it has a rich and varied history of cricket dating from the late nineteenth century. The story (before the state test) The first recorded cricket match played in Zimbabwe (then known as Rhodesia) took place in 1890 near Fort Victoria.

However, first-class cricket was not played until 1905, when Rhodesia team competed in the Currie Cup in South Africa. They lost their first match by 170 runs to the Transvaal. After the 1905 Currie Cup, Rhodesia were not invited to compete in the tournament in South Africa again until the 1930 when he competed in two consecutive cups. That was almost the title in 1931 after losing to Western Province. After the Second World War, Rhodesia returned to the Currie Cup and continued to play regularly in the Premier League in South Africa until 1980. During the fifties and sixties, the level of cricket in Rhodesia increased significantly with a number of strong players emerging, including Colin Bland, Mansell Percey and David Lewis, who was captain of Rhodesia between 1953 and 1964. In 1961-62 the XI International were the first team for a tour of Rhodesia Rhodesia marks move toward independence from the rest of South Africa.

The seventies saw the emergence of Zimbabwe's strongest team in the history of cricket, but despite gaining about 1972 to 1973, South Africa also had a strong team that never managed to win Zimbabwe decade and Currie Cup. Zimbabwe officially became an independent nation in 1980 and developed the Logan Cup, an independent league from the rest of South Africa. After independence, Zimbabwe started playing cricket at the international level, being elected to the International Criminal Court the following year. 1982 was an important year for Zimbabwe, see the nation to do his first tour of England followed by a triumphant performance in the ICC Trophy.

Sports Club in Harare, the match was a draw and Zimbabwe became the first team not to lose their test match for the first time since the development of cricket in 1877. Despite their positive start, however, Zimbabwe played poorly during his first years as a Test nation, and many believed that their standard of cricket was not worthy of the status of the test, although their performance in the one-day cricket was significantly better. At the end of the performance of the nineties had picked up Zimbabwe, winning test matches against India and Pakistan in 1998-99 and his team included a number of world class players including Andy Flower, who in his prime, was considered the best batsman in the world. At that time, the strength of the cricket team one day was marked in the inaugural tour of England in Zimbabwe during which the Zimbabwe team beat the English cricketers 3-0 in a series of one day.

Eddo Brandes: A member of the Zimbabwe team between 1987 and 1999, Brandes played in four World Cups, 10-game trial and 59 ODIs during his career of Zimbabwe.
