You are right. In fact, the African teams, including some asian teams like Iran or korea, their players play regularly in european leagues. That is why, one reason, they do better. The bangladeshi football federation can easily take such steps to get bangladeshi players, or atleast, bangladeshi passport holders to play for bangladesh, if they are performing well in the top leagues. Remember Turkey in the last world cup, they went as far as Semi Final to be beaten by strong Brazil by only one goal, and that says how strong the turkish team was, and you know what, some of those turkish players played in the germany league, and that only proves that how important it is to play in the top leagues to perform for one's country.
