Play to the situation, not the brand – Litton's mantra for new T20 batting

Litton Das, Bangladesh's newly-appointed T20I skipper, has admitted that his team will look to stick to their strengths instead of focusing on any specific brand of cricket.

"I am not going to talk about a particular brand of cricket. We might need to chase 180-200 in some games, and 140-145 in other games. The ultimate goal is to win the game," Litton said.

"A batter might need to score 40 off 20 balls in one game, and 15 off 20 in the next game. I want every player to be involved in the game. What the team needs from me, is what the players must understand. It is more important for the player to know how to win a game, rather than stick to a brand of cricket.

"For the Bangladesh team to go ahead, the players have to perform. They have to play their specific roles. I have to communicate well with the players, more than talking to the BCB. The more time I get, the more I'll get involved in team matters," he said.

"I have played for a long time, so I will try to pick the best out of the captains that I have played under, and it will help me to understand players better, and also get the best out of them," he said.
