Najmul Hossain Shanto Left Bangladesh Captaincy: Najmul Hussain Shatikas has left the captaincy of the Bangladesh Test team. He has taken this decision after a 1-0 defeat in the Test series against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh-Sri Lanka was the first Test draw of the series, while in the second Test, Bangladesh had to face defeat by a huge margin of innings and 78 runs. In the post match presentation after the conclusion of the second match, Najmul Shanto said that he is leaving the captaincy for the betterment of the team.
In the second match, Najmul Shanto was able to score just 27 runs in both innings. Announcing the release of the captaincy, he said, “I have decided to leave the captaincy for the betterment of the team, I think it will be good for the team. I have been making a part of the team for the last few years and in my eyes three different captains in three formats are not right.”
I don’t know who will think what …
Najmul Shanto advised his point and said, “I don’t know what the board will think about it and I will respect the board’s decision, but this is my personal decision. I think it is not a good thing for the team to be three different captains. I do not want anyone to think that I have taken this decision on emotional grounds. I want to make this decision only for the team’s betterment.”
Najmul Shanto captained the Bangladesh Test team for the first time in the series against New Zealand in November 2023. He led Bangladesh’s Test team in a total of 14 Tests, out of which his team won 4 teams, but the team had to face defeat in 9 matches. As captain, Shanto scored runs in Tests at an average of 36.24.
