well, every team in International Cricket (Except Australia from 1999-2008ish era, maybe i am wrong in this claim) had ups and downs. even in modern day cricket, about Every team is also having ups and down cycles. Bangladesh went through a similar trend since Asia Cup 2012. right now our down cycle has been surprisingly longer than usual. I expect a similar trend for the next 5 years. maybe we will hover around #7 at best(all formats).
Although, If we consistently play 8 tests per year, there is a lot of hope and potential to go up...but then again, who knows?
