Bangladesh Concerned Over Litton Das' White-ball Form, Says Chief Selector
Regarding Shakib Al Hasan: Bangladesh chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain has expressed concerns about Litton Das' recent struggles in white-ball cricket and said a break can be arranged for him if needed. Litton struggled with form during the series against West Indies, scoring just 2, 4, and 0 in the three ODIs. His rough patch extended into the T20Is as he failed to score in the opening game, though Bangladesh managed to secure a narrow seven-run victory in the match.
"We also understand that the team has high expectations from Litton, given his quality as a batter. However, he hasn't been as consistent in white-ball cricket. That's why we kept him out of the playing XI in a decisive match of a tournament," Cricbuzz quoted Ashraf as saying.
"Currently, he is our T20 captain, and a series is ongoing. I think it's not the ideal time to delve deeply into these matters. But I can say that we are definitely concerned about the way he is getting out. If his batting needs any adjustments in the future, the coaches are there to help, or if he needs a break, that can be arranged. Alternatively, he might make a comeback in the next two matches," he added.
