I think Bangladesh should play against some of the developing countries like Scotland, Ireland, Holand, Canada, Bermuda, Kenya etc atleast 2 ODIs before World Cup. Not all the countries, but 2 to 3 countries in year 2006. What do you guys say?

This will give enough match pratise for the developing countries as well as Bangladesh.

Why do u think so.....?? Bangladesh are better then those countries now...and they are not Even Test Playing counrues. Even not as Kenya....

By playing with devoloping countries...it simply means lowering our status/value in creacket to those devoloped countries like Aus..Eng.

SO I think Playing with country like Eng and Australia..is more valuable even if u lose...then winning against Canada and Scotlan or Ireland.

Remember..The Tougher u get the oposition..the more techniques u learn...and the Easier it gets....

Banglay bolle arokom: Bagher moto Hara o bhalo..Sheyaler moto jeta theke !!

A BIG NO! We should play as many games as possible with the test teams. Might schedule some with these nations in between as practice.

ten test playing countries, 6 associates with ODI status. ICC rules say each test playing nation must host one associate country once before the WC 2007. We are hosting Kenya in February and fulfilling our commitment.

BCCI should host any teams from Scotland, Ireland, Bermuda, Canada or Holland. (I know that can only happen in our dreams)

No dude, no. Did you notice before last WC we played against Namibia what resulted afterwards.

Well, your point of making contribution in helping them, it can be done by arranging matches against BD A or other age level teams.
