1 Test is ridiculous. And then they wonder why BD doesn't improve in that format. Well if all you're going to give them is ODIs and T20s then naturally they're gonna suck when test matches come around. Stupid ICC.
I still advocate tiers, but in this case I'm not sure how much gain there'd be if Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe which they have done in the past and that's made little difference. More Tests against West Indies might help, but what doesn't is constantly getting outclassed so they probably need to play more sides around their level and less of the likes of India, England, Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka etc.
Playing West Indies, New Zealand, Pakistan (when weak), Ireland and Zimbabwe would be about their level, although who is to say they have to improve? Could just be they never will.
BD should white-wash this series really, if they want to prove they're still a credible force. But I do expect Zimbabwe to sneak in a win or two. BD absolutely must win the Test though. No two ways about it.
I think Zimbabwe will gain more from it, what happened to them is a real shame because it's set them back even further than they were 5-10 years ago. I hope it is closer than you're suggesting it could or should be.
