Difficult to predict. The problem is, even after all these years, there is no progress, the basics are missing, repeating the same mistakes. Once in two years or so they win a match here or there, that any club side from Australia, England or India can do. So it can only be a wild guess, may be by 2100 AD, if our mother Earth, and more importantly cricket survive till then.

When some other teams (Aus) will play fairly and ICC umpires are not racist.

Look out for Bangladesh to become more competitive in the next 3-5 years. They are doing a lot right at the moment – they have a very solid academy and their cricketers are paid reasonably well.
Apparently the academy has 3 or 4 young fast bowlers that can hit 145-150 klms and in a country of 150 million who generally love a sport, it can only be a matter of time before they have some quality players come through.

acidic, little known fact about lies, no matter how often you say them, they are still lies.
As for Bangladesh, they face one major issue and that is the fact they don’t have the infrastructure. As said above, they will get the odd win, but rather than a positive those wins have just given them false hope.
They need investment and support, I am still of the opinion they gained test status way too early. India played a big part in their elevation to Test Match Status and you ahve to wonder why the push for it came based on one win against pakistan in one day cricket. I ahve my opinions, but I won’t sprout them here as they are just opinions.

Cannot see it happening in the near future. Just because they gave New Zealand a run for the money, isn’t a significant sign of improvement.
New Zealand have troubles of their own at the moment, and Bangladesh were still unable to capitalise.
I believe in about 10 years time people will still be waiting for Bangladesh to take a step forward, without taking two steps back.
