Bangladesh Tour of Sri Lanka 2007: Bangladesh Wants to Impress

Bangladesh cricket team is now in Sri Lanka. Bangladesh has never won a test or ODI in Sri Lanka. So, the first thing that Ashraful and his team mates have in mind is to win at least one match in the tour. Sri Lanka is the former World Champion and they are in good form now.

The Bangladesh team visits Sri Lanka after a heavy defeat of an innings and 239 runs in its second home Test match and a 0-1 series loss to India.

But the team’s stand-in Australian coach, Shaun Williams, said it hopes to put on a good performance in Sri Lanka. “We will be tough and we will be competitive,” he told reporters in Colombo on Monday.

Mohammad Ashraful, who has taken over the captaincy, said the team’s main focus would be to improve.
