8. Bangladesh - 6/10

Bangladesh started 2024 on a promising note as they defeated Sri Lanka 2-1 in a three-match ODI series. However, they have not managed to win an ODI series since then. The Bangla Tigers suffered a 1-2 defeat against Afghanistan in Sharjah in November 2024. They were subsequently whitewashed in a three-match series in St Kitts by the West Indies.

Najmul Hossain Shanto is set to lead the senior Bangladesh side for the first time in a 50-over ICC event. While there are some talented youngsters like Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Nahid Rana, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib in the ranks, the absence of veterans like Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal causes massive dents. Other senior players like Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, and Mustafizur Rahman will have to step up and guide the youngsters.
