Bangladesh will only play 42 Tests until the end of 2020, with no tours of India and England so far. Their next Test series is against Zimbabwe in August. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s the main problem for Bangladesh,&rdquo; Tamim, 23, told ESPN Cricinfo. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/tamim_2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 513px; " /> Tamim Iqbal &ldquo;The moment we start to do well in Test match cricket, we get a year&rsquo;s break or a 14-month break. If we want to really improve in Test cricket, we need to play the format a lot more. You see us playing ODI cricket for quite some time and quite regularly, and the performance is changing. The world is seeing that Bangladesh is coming up. It&rsquo;s the same with Test cricket,&rdquo; he added.

Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal has said his country's good show in the recently concluded Asia Cup was a turning point in their history, but they could only continue such form in the longer version if they played more Tests on a regular basis.

We need to play more Tests, says Tamim Iqbal
