List of Bangladesh national cricket captains

Bangladesh became a full member of the International Cricket Council on 26 June 2000,[1] and played its first Test match, against India that November.[2] Before then, it had been an associate member of the ICC since 1977,[3] competing in six ICC Trophies, the leading one-day competition for non-Test nations. Bangladesh did not had a good start to their Test record, winning only once in their first 50 Tests, and that was against a weakened Zimbabwe. In 2009, however, they achieved their first Test series victory over a weakened West Indies team, with a 2:0 victory in the Caribbean.[4]
