Hridoy To Lead Bangladesh As Litton, Mehidy And Senior Stars Miss Zimbabwe T20I Series
Mehidy Hasan Miraz: Bangladesh have appointed Towhid Hridoy as captain for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe after regular skipper Litton Das, all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and fast bowlers Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud were ruled out due to their Lanka Premier League commitments.
It will be Hridoy’s second time captaining Bangladesh in T20Is, having led the team in the three-match home series against Australia last month when Litton was unavailable due to a calf injury. Litton is recovering from the injury but is expected to be fit before the second ODI of the Zimbabwe tour.
This follows four key players being given No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to play in the Lanka Premier League, which overlaps with the T20I series in Zimbabwe. Bangladesh have also made changes to the squad that played against Australia. Mohammad Saifuddin, Yasir Ali, and Mosaddek Hossain return to the national setup while Shamim Hossain is left out.
