May 11, 2025

Litton Das has been appointed Bangladesh's T20I captain until the next T20 World Cup.
He replaces Najmul Hossain Shanto, who stepped down to manage his workload.
Litton has struggled with the bat recently, scoring just 242 runs in 16 T20Is over the past year.
Bangladesh's senior assistant coach Mohammad Salahuddin has backed Litton to succeed despite his recent form.
Salahuddin highlighted Litton's strategic awareness and leadership instincts.
He emphasized that Litton needs freedom to lead and time to grow into the role.
Salahuddin urged patience and support for Litton as he starts his tenure with the two-match series against UAE.
He drew comparisons with legendary allrounder Shakib Al Hasan, noting that Litton, like Shakib, doesn't talk much with the media.
