Litton Das steps up to lead Bangladesh in T20I clash against West Indies
Bangladesh's top-order batter Litton Das has been appointed captain for the upcoming T20I series against the West Indies. The Bangladesh white-ball squad has been navigating leadership challenges, and full-time skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto has been recovering due to a hamstring injury.
The BCB has yet to make a final decision regarding Shanto's fitness, while uncertainty also looms over Shakib Al Hasan’s availability for international cricket shortly.
The squad sees the return of Shamim Hossain and Ripon Mandal. Shamim last played an international match in December 2023 against New Zealand and has yet to establish himself in T20Is. In 14 innings. Meanwhile, Mandal featured in three T20Is during the Asian Games in Hangzhou and took four wickets as Bangladesh secured a bronze medal. Other additions include fast bowler Hasan Mahmud, left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed, top-order batter Soumya Sarkar and middle-order batter Afif Hossain.
Bangladesh squad for West Indies T20I series: Litton Das (capt), Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Jaker Ali, Shamim Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, Ripon Mondol
