All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been picked for Bangladesh’s Twenty20 captaincy as Mashrafe Bin Mortaza has bidden goodbye to the T20 internationals early this month.
The decision was taken at the 16th executive committee meeting of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) held at the BCB headquarters in the capital on Saturday.
To the surprise of his numerous fans, Bangladesh’s T20 captain Mashrafe Mortaza announced his retirement from Twenty20 international cricket on 5 April just before the first match of the T20I series against Sri Lanka in Colombo.
Shakib, who played a total of 59 T20Is, has been acting as the deputy of Mashrafe in T20 since 2014.
This world’s best all-rounder had also led Bangladesh in all of three formats - ODI, Test and T20I - from 2009 to 2011.
