Liton Das left a message in the West Indies saying, “If BCB wants me, I am ready to captain the T20.” Liton expressed his thoughts on the captaincy after the West Indies lost the series 3-0. Liton spoke his mind on such a stage, BCB was forced to think about it. Regular captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto is also forced to think.
So he withdrew from the captaincy of this format. BCB president Farooq Ahmed has told Shanto that he does not want to captain T20. Keen to continue in ODI and Test formats.

Mirage led the team in the Test and ODI series during the West Indies tour due to Shantar’s injury. Lytton was given charge of the T20 team. Mirage played T20 but was not captained. Shanta is the captain of the national team in all three formats. He continued to serve in three formats for a little over a year. His own performance has not been going well recently. Added to the failure of the party. Last year, he won 12 of the 24 T20 matches. Lost in 12. The performance in the World Cup was not as expected. All in all, time was running against Shanta. That’s why he decided to leave on his own.

BCB President Farooq Ahmed told the media that he would not captain Shant and said, “Shant has said that he will not captain the T20 team again. We also accepted it. But if there is no injury problem, Shanta will be the captain in ODIs and Tests. That’s how it happened.”

The BCB is not finalizing the name of the new captain right now, “As we don’t have T20 games right now, we have time; Not taking a new captain right now.”

Bangladesh will go to play Champions Trophy in February. Zimbabwe will come to play the full series in March. T20 captain can be confirmed before this. It is very much an open secret that the board president will choose Lytton as the captain.
