Bangladesh's abysmal record may lead to their losing the Test status as top officials of the game


Bangladesh's abysmal record may lead to their losing the Test status as top officials of the game, including International Cricket Council chief David Morgan, feel the Tigers do not deserve the status. Bangladesh's overall record now stands at one win (against Zimbabwe) from 58 Test matches and the financial logic has also led the leading cricket powers to turn against them. "There is no reason why a team should have to play Test matches just because it is a full member of the International Cricket Council," said ICC president David Morgan. "If a team is not gaining anything from the experience, then perhaps it might be better to settle for one-day international status," Morgan was quoted as saying by Daily Telegraph.
