Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has made a significant decision regarding the captaincy of the national ODI team. Litton Das has been announced as the replacement for Tamim Iqbal as the captain of Bangladesh for the remaining two ODIs of the ongoing Afghanistan series. The announcement was made by BCB President Nazmul Hasan on Thursday night at a hotel in Gulshan.
The decision to replace Tamim as captain comes after his sudden retirement from international cricket. However, the BCB is still hopeful that Tamim will reconsider his retirement, and the board will wait for his decision before announcing a regular captain for the team.
In the absence of Tamim, the Bangladesh team management has included Rony Talukder in the ODI squad. Talukder will have the opportunity to prove himself in the upcoming matches against Afghanistan.
The first ODI of the series took place on July 5th, and the remaining two matches will be played on July 8th and 11th in Chattogram. Following the ODI series, both teams will face each other in a two-match T20 series in Sylhet.
The BCB’s decision to replace Tamim as captain has caused mixed reactions among cricket enthusiasts. While some believe it is a necessary change to bring a fresh perspective to the team, others have expressed their dissatisfaction with the way Tamim announced his retirement.
Tamim has been a prominent figure in Bangladesh cricket, and his retirement has come as a surprise to many. He has made valuable contributions to the national team over the years and has been an inspiration for young cricketers. His absence from the field will be felt, but the team will have to adapt to the new leadership under Litton Das.
Litton Das, on the other hand, has shown promise in his career so far. He has been a consistent performer and has the potential to lead the team effectively. His appointment as captain for the remaining ODIs against Afghanistan will test his leadership skills and decision-making abilities.
The BCB’s decision to wait for Tamim’s reconsideration reflects the board’s respect for his contribution to Bangladesh cricket. The board wants to give Tamim the opportunity to rethink his retirement and decide whether he wants to continue playing international cricket.
The upcoming matches against Afghanistan will be crucial for Bangladesh, as they look to build momentum and strengthen their team for future tournaments. The new captain, Litton Das, will have the responsibility of leading from the front and guiding the team towards success.
As the cricketing world watches the developments in Bangladesh cricket, all eyes will be on Litton Das and his performance as the captain. It remains to be seen how the team will respond under his leadership and whether Tamim will reconsider his retirement.
