the really frustrating thing about the bangladesh team is the players don't perform to their potential. you can sense that they are capable of much more but rarely see it. application is simply not there.
it's obvious that the doemstics are not rigorous enough to harden the players for the international level. I can think of one reason, there are currently 6 teams in NCL but the nascent cricket scene in BD can't produce enough quality cricketers for all 6 -- the result is a general lowering of standard at the first class level. one way to improve the situation will be to start another tournament with only 3 teams, combining the best players from NCL and get them to play a league that would be much more competitive.
in addition, BCB should allow and probably even provide funds to add one foreign batsman or bowler (but not both) for each team.
