Ameeruddin Zain pays a visit to the cricket museum at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, and is less-than-impressed with what he sees. He writes in the Daily Star:
Not only isn't there any space for the constitution or detail of the MCC visits, the very first bat used by a Bangladesh player to open the innings for the country, the first Bangladesh cricket cap, the sweater, the jacket or any other tangible cricketing particulars are also absent to the point of astonishment from Mirpur.
What is most alarming is the non-existence of a framed photograph of our first Test captain Naimur Rahman tossing the coin with his Indian counterpart Sourav Ganguly during the country's inaugural Test match.
