Test cricket is a type of first-class cricket performed at an international level among teams representing full International Cricket Council members (ICC). A match is made up of four innings (two per team) which may last a maximum of five days. Previously, some Test matches seemed to have no time limit and were referred to as Timeless Tests. The phrase “test match” was first used in 1861-62 but in a wide variety of contexts.
After having played their very first Test match against India at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in 2000, Bangladesh was admitted as a full member. Bangladesh has played 131 games in total.
