When the International Cricket Council (ICC) unanimously gave Bangladesh full membership and made the country the tenth Test-playing nation in June 2000, the immediate reaction from then Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Saber Hossain Chowdhury was that it would inspire Bangladesh's cricketers to strive harder towards their goals.

Bangladesh reached the elusive three-figure mark in Test defeats when they succumbed to a 10-wicket defeat on Day Four of their second Test against the West Indies at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Saint Lucia on Monday.

Bangladesh Test captain Shakib Al Hasan and head coach Russell Domingo came up with different findings following the Bangladesh top-order batters’ failure in Antigua Test, which the Tigers lost by seven wickets.

Ahead of Bangladesh’s two-Test series against the West Indies, all eyes were on the Tigers’ top-order in their three-day warm-up game against CWI President’s XI in Antigua that concluded yesterday. However, other than Tamim Iqbal’s unbeaten 162, there weren’t many highlights for the Tigers in the batting department.
