Bangladesh's stunning ascent - Greatest Season, ‘99 World Cup

Greatest Season That Was, Episode 6 – Bangladesh with Aminul Islam. It's difficult to believe that it took Bangladesh until 1999 to make a World Cup, but they made up for lost time, knocking off Pakistan, which turbocharged their push to become a Test-playing nation as a consequence of how they performed at this terrific World Cup. Aminul "BulBul" Islam led their campaign 25 years ago, recalling in detail their unusual and inspiring path to cricket's top table. With Dan Brettig (The Age) and Shannon Gill (Code Sports).
