By the time 2015-season came to an end with the 3-0 ODI sweep over Zimbabwe at Mirpur on Nov 11, Bangladesh have enjoyed the most successful spell in their cricket history by far.

Bangladesh bowling coach Heath Streak believes the team still has a "long way to go" before becoming a force in Test cricket despite recent success in one-day internationals.

Take a look at the various teams in the National Cricket League 2015-16 vying for the top prize in Bangladesh cricket’s domestic competition.

Coach Mal Loye said he was satisfied with the players' efforts during BCB's High Performance training programme.

As a child, Mustafizur Rahman did not trouble his parents or his three older brothers. He was a quiet kid.

The spirited performance from Bangladesh bowlers sends the right signals in an otherwise disappointing Test series against the top-ranked team in the world.

Match officials call of play for day 3 of the 2nd Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa due to unremitting rain at Mirpur stadium.

What makes Mustafizur a difficult bowler to handle?

Rain is a regular occurrence in Chittagong, but Bangladesh still have plenty of positives to take away, none more so than proving to be more than a match for South Africa.

The 1st Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa ends in a draw after rain washed out the last two days of the game at Chittagong Stadium.

Bangladesh will rely on the experience of Mushfiqur, Tamim and Shakib and hope they combine effectively with the youth of Mominul and Soumya to counter a dangerous Proteas bowling attack.

Indian cricketing legend Sunil Gavaskar has said that Bangladesh’s “splendid win” over South Africa in the three-match One-day series “should silence all the skeptics who were calling their earlier performances against Pakistan and India a flash in the pan.”

Bangladesh continues its recent fine run of form in ODI cricket with an inaugural home series victory over South Africa on July 15 to make it four successive home series wins.

Bangladesh cricket team continues to make headlines this year in ODI cricket with nine wins in fourteen matches, and gives ample reason why the 50-over format is their undeniable forte.

Following his brilliant performance in the ODIs, pacer Mustafizur Rahman has been included in the 14-member squad for the first Test against South Africa, which is due to begin in Chittagong on August 21.

July 12, 2015 will be etched in Bangladesh’s cricket history as the day when Tigers outplayed South Africa in all departments to win the 2nd ODI at Mirpur by seven wickets.

Mustafizur Rahman's limited-overs success gives him a maiden call-up to the Bangladesh Test squad for the first game of the two-match home series against South Africa.

South Africa win the second T20I by 31 runs and take the series 2-0 against Bangladesh.

Facing the monumental task of beating the Proteas at home, Bangladesh can least afford to look back at history and be distracted from the job at hand.

South Africa will test Bangladesh's upward trajectory across formats, but given how they brushed aside India and Pakistan, there's no reason to believe they can't scalp another high-ranked side at home.
