However, after switching between Shakib and Tamim for some time, when Najmul took charge in all three formats everyone thought this might be the end of discussions regarding the subject of captaincy. But, within just one year Bangladesh cricket team is opting for different captains for different format again.
A source from BCB confirmed that Najmul has finally informed BCB about his decision that he won’t lead the team in T20 anymore. And, if BCB wants, he would continue as the captain in Test and ODIs. BCB has also agreed to his wish. In other words, Najmul will not be the captain of Bangladesh team in the upcoming T20 series against Zimbabwe at home in March.
BCB president Faruque Ahmed also confirmed the news Wednesday saying, “Shanto (Najmul) has finally said that he will no longer be the captain of the T20 team. We have also agreed to that. However, since we don’t have any T20 games at the moment, we have time and we won’t be appointing a new captain right now. If there is no issue with injuries problem, Shanto will remain the captain in ODIs and Tests. That’s what we have decided.”
