Mehidy Open for T20I Captaincy; BCB to Decide on Shakib Soon

Bangladesh all-rounder Mehedy Hasan has expressed interest in taking on the role of T20 captain, stating that he is ready to lead the team if given the opportunity.

Mehidy's Captaincy Experience

Mehidy has already led the team in Tests and ODIs in the West Indies, and has also been leading the Khulna Tigers in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). He believes that captaincy is a habit that can be developed with experience, and that he is well-equipped to take on the role.

Litton Das Still in the Running

Despite Mehidy's interest in the role, Litton Das is still considered a front-runner for the position. Faruque Ahmed, the BCB president, has stated that Litton needs to regain his form before being considered for the captaincy.

Shakib Al Hasan's Participation in Champions Trophy

The BCB is likely to decide on Shakib Al Hasan's participation in the Champions Trophy during the ongoing BPL. Shakib has not played for Bangladesh since his farewell Test against South Africa last October due to security concerns.

Faruque's Comments on Shakib

Faruque has stated that the board will sit with selectors soon to discuss Shakib's participation in the Champions Trophy. He believes that Shakib's fitness and mental state need to be looked at before making a decision.
