Having got white washed in ODI and T20 series and unfortunately losing the first test drifting from a comfortable position Bangladesh is on the edge of getting comprehensively white washed in all formats in New Zealand tour.
Bangladesh does not play too often. The opportunity of playing against top ranked teams whether at home or away is few and far between. In such situation whenever the opportunity arrives Bangladeshi cricketers grab it with both hands.
