That is entirely my point.. it is LOCAL coaches that can make the difference more in Bangladesh than anywhere, but they haven't.
How has Afghanistan done so well with a war-torn country? How does Ireland do so well, with cricket not their main sport (football, rugby and hurling the three main sports)?
It is not about being under developed as a country that matters, but how well you teach those that DO play.
I can tell you there are MILLIONS of people who play cricket in Bangladesh, and like Pakistan and India, they have difficulties.
