Bangladesh T20I skipper Litton Das has expressed strong frustration over Shamim’s exclusion, claiming it occurred without any prior communication from the selectors or the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).

Bangladesh skipper Litton Das has voiced strong frustration after Shamim Hossain was dropped from the squad for the first two T20Is of the three-match series against Ireland -- starting tomorrow in Chattogram -- without any prior communication from the selectors or the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).

Bangladesh have seized control over the Dhaka Test after reducing Ireland to 98-5 and ending the second day leading the visitors by 378 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Tuesday announced a reshuffle in leadership roles across all three formats, appointing Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Saif Hassan as vice-captains of the Test, ODI, and T20I teams, respectively.

Bangladesh batted for just three overs after tea before declaring their first innings on 587-8 with a 301-run lead over Ireland on Day 3 of the first Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

Bangladesh T20 captain Litton Das believes the upcoming break will help his side recover from a hectic schedule and return stronger for their next assignment against Ireland later this month.

Bangladesh skipper Litton Das on Friday blamed the heavy dew for his team’s defeat in the third and final match of the three-match T20I series against the West Indies in Chattogram.

“I have to improve myself. If I was there, the match would have finished earlier,” Bangladesh captain Litton Das said, his voice heavy with regret, after Bangladesh’s 14-run defeat to the West Indies in the second T20I in Chattogram on Wednesday.

Having suffered a 16-run defeat in the first T20I against the West Indies in Chattogram on Monday, Bangladesh will be looking to keep the three-match series alive with a win in today’s second game at the Bir Shrestha Shaheed Flight Lieutenant Motiur Rahman Cricket Stadium.

Litton Das did something uncharacteristic of a Bangladesh captain after his side’s defeat in the first T20I against the West Indies in Chattogram on Monday.

Bangladesh Cricket Board appear to be in a sticky wicket in filling the Test captaincy role, left vacant by former skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto.

Bangladesh captain Litton Das hoped that his players would get challenged by the West Indies in the upcoming three-match T20I series in Chattogram as it would help them prepare for next year’s ICC T20 World Cup, starting in February in Sri Lanka and India.

Regular skipper Litton Das has returned to lead Bangladesh as the Bangladesh Cricket Board on Thursday announced a 15-member squad for the opening two T20 Internationals against West Indies.

Bangladesh T20I skipper Litton Das is expected to return to competitive cricket through the upcoming three-match T20I series against the West Indies, scheduled to begin on October 27 in Chattogram.

The 31-year-old wicketkeeper-batter has been sidelined for nearly a month.

Bangladesh star Soumya Sarkar's participation in the series against Afghanistan is in doubt as he faces UAE visa complications.

Bangladesh captain Litton Das has apologised to fans after the team fell short of their Asia Cup 2025 target, admitting it was heartbreaking to miss the last two games through injury.

Soumya Sarkar was named in the Bangladesh T20I squad to face Afghanistan in a three-match T20I series in UAE next week, the left-handed batter’s first inclusion in the shortest format since December last year.

Bangladesh's Asia Cup campaign ended with a defeat to Pakistan in the virtual semifinal on Thursday. However, the team will not be returning home now. Just a few days later, a bilateral series against Afghanistan will begin in the UAE.

The 11-run defeat might suggest a close contest, but in truth, the Tigers were out of it long before Rishad Hossain’s late blows narrowed the margin.
