Najmul Hossain Shanto Appointed Bangladesh Captain Across All Format
Najmul Hossain Shanto: Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed left-handed batter Najmul Hossain Shanto as Bangladesh's captain in all three formats of the game. The decision, announced by BCB president Nazmul Hassan, marks a new chapter in Bangladesh's cricketing journey, ushering in a fresh era of leadership and strategy.
Shanto's ascension to the captaincy comes on the back of his impressive leadership in recent Test matches against New Zealand and during a white-ball tour of the same country.
The news comes as a surprise, particularly in the T20I format, where Shakib Al Hasan was widely expected to lead the team until the upcoming T20 World Cup in June. Shakib's decision to step back from the captaincy, reportedly due to a condition in his eye, opened the door for Shanto to assume leadership responsibilities across all formats.
