Sports

Sports and games form an integral part of Bangladeshi's life. In the villages, one might see a group of kids kicking a football, or in some dusty alley one might see children playing cricket. Although Bangladesh is not a major sporting power in any sense, Bangladeshi athletes and sportspersons have brought the country many laurels. Kabadi (??????) is the national game of Bangladesh, though recently cricket has gained popularity in the urban areas. In the international arena, cricket and chess have brought many victories to Bangladesh. Recently, Bangladesh beat the world champions Australia in a one-day match in England, and Niaz Morshed became the first Grandmaster of the subcontinent.
