Each preserved ticket is presented as a record of key matches and moments that reflect the development of the national team and the emotions surrounding its growth over the past quarter-century.
Speaking about the initiative, Zunaid Paiker said the project was created as a tribute to Bangladesh's evolving cricket culture.
"These tickets are more than souvenirs. They symbolise our cricketing journey and growth," he said, adding that the book aims to honour the memories and sentiments tied to Bangladesh cricket.
Bangladesh Cricket Board President Aminul Islam Bulbul expressed appreciation for the initiative, saying each ticket featured in the book represents a story, moment or milestone that contributes to the country's cricketing identity.
The book has been published jointly by the Bangladesh Cricket Museum and Gripper Mark. It became available from 10 November 2025 exclusively through the Bangladesh Cricket Museum website.
