Impressive start by Bangladesh Under-19 team in tri-nation series

The Bangladesh national under-19 cricket team had a flying start as it beat England U-19 team by six wickets while keeping 11.5 overs unused during a match in the tri-nation series. The series is being held in England. Bangladesh, England and India are taking part in it.

The performance of the Bangladeshi U-19 team has been really encouraging. It should give us, the Bangladeshi cricket-lovers, hope that some of the cricketers from this team will eventually join the national cricket team.

Fast bowler Tanjim helped Bangladesh keep England's score in control as he took four wickets while giving only 49 runs. Tight bowling from Bangladesh did not allow England to score fluently. Eventually, the Bangladeshi U-19 team won the match.

The young Bangladeshi cricketers are showing good spirit. I would like to wish the best of luck to the U-19 team. Hope they will continue to play good cricket during the entire series!
