It seems that BD will only be playing 5 test matches this year, 4 more to go, well placed, 2 against the Windians in July and 2 against India in December. If Zim had acquired their Test status, they they would have played a couple against them.
They should try to arrange a few with Pakistan who are Test starved at the moment. Luckily SL have decided to play 2 tests with them.
I dont think BD international cricketing calendar is heavy after the middle of this year, after Zim, then there is Pakistan, then the 20/20 world championship in England, then WI tour. i dont see any 20/20 matches arranged, I hope at least one can be arranged to draw the crowds in, because the Windians love their 20/20 matches.
I hope that after the Pakistani tour, Jamie makes them practice for the 20/20 competition, they have to beat at least Ireland or India to progress, cant see them beating India though, so Ireland is their target.
