Bd needs to play at least 8 test matches per year. Under the FTP, this is not happening, and in the new FTP from 2012, they will hardly play any test matches, if Aust, India and England have their way.
It is up to BCB to make sure that the National team play 4 day matches against other teams to build up their mental capability for the longer version of the game, because what I am noticing is that BD is still in ODI mode, their mindset does not tell them that we have 90 overs in one day, let us play session by session, bat out the day, then bat the next day. How long they do not change this mindset, they will lag behind badly. Also, at least 5 batsmen need to step up to the plate, each one of them is capable of making over 50 runs each, any added innings is a bonus.
