With the appointment of Mohammad Ashraful as Bangladesh captain, Bangladesh cricket has entered into a new era. This is the first time a cricketer who made his debut in Test playing Bangladesh team is awarded captaincy.

Ashraful made his debut in April 11, 2001 in Bullawayo. Mashrafe made is debut in November 2001 in Chittagong against the same opposition.

Ashraful is 5th Captain of Bangladesh Test team, all previous 4 captains played ICC Trophy for Bangladesh.

Old generations transformed Bangladesh from associate country's level to Test playing level. Kudos to them for their achievement, now it's time to look forward.

I hope the new generation will bring new thinking in the team and Test generations will take Bangladesh within the leading 5 teams of world cricket.

Hat's off to the younger generations.
