otball.[127] When Bangladesh began its first Test match on 10 November 2000 at Bangabandhu National Stadium
in Dhaka, the stadium was nearly full on the first day as around
40,000 people watched the team take on India. As the match partly
overlapped with the festival of Shab-e-Barat, numbers attending declined as the match progressed.[128] In 2011, Bangladeshi politician Saber Hossain Chowdhury
opined that "In Bangladesh cricket is not simply a game, it is a symbol of national unity",[129] and in the words of AHM Mostofa Kamal, president of the BCB in 2011, "People of Bangladesh take cricket religiously".[129]
The people of Bangladesh are referred as "the most passionate cricket fans" among the cricket world. When Bangladesh are victorious, the fans sometimes take to the streets in celebration. When Bangladesh defeated South Africa in the 2007 World Cup, thousands of people celebrated into the night on the streets of Dhaka despite there being a ban on public gatherings at the time.[130] Although fans are jubilant in victory, they can also be vocal in defeat. When Bangladesh lost to England in an ODI in November 2003, the then captain Khaled Mahmud was booed off the field.[131] During the 2011 World Cup, Bangladesh succumbed to a record defeat against West Indies, registering the team's lowest score in ODIs. The buses of both teams were stoned (Bangladesh's intentionally, West Indies' mistakenly), as was Shakib Al Hasan's house.[132]
For the 2015 season Bangladesh Cricket Board have announced 14 players contracted to the national side from which selectors choose Test, One-Day and Twenty20 International teams.[135][136] Uncontracted players remain eligible for selection and can be upgraded to a Bangladesh Cricket Board contract if they gain regular selection.
