Najmul Hossain Shanto Steps Down As Bangladesh T20I Captain
BCB President Faruque Ahmed: Bangladesh cricketer Najmul Hossain Shanto on Thursday stepped down as the captain of the national T20I team. The announcement was confirmed by BCB President Faruque Ahmed, who revealed that Shanto had informed the board of his decision, which was subsequently accepted. Despite relinquishing his role in T20Is, Shanto will continue to lead Bangladesh in Test and ODI cricket, reaffirming his importance in the team’s longer formats.
Shanto’s resignation comes after months of speculation surrounding his role as an all-format captain.
Speaking to the Dhaka-based newspaper Prothom Alo, Faruque Ahmed stated, “Shanto has finally informed us that he will not continue as the T20I captain. We have accepted his decision. There are, however, no T20Is coming up, so we will not think about a new captain just yet. We have an understanding with Shanto that when he is fit, he will continue as the Test and ODI captain.”
