Najmul Hossain Shanto Reinstated As Bangladesh Test Captain Until End Of WTC Cycle
BCB President Md Aminul Islam: Najmul Hossain Shanto will continue to lead Bangladesh in Test cricket until the conclusion of the ongoing 2025–2027 ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed on Saturday.
The decision marks a significant turnaround for the 27-year-old batter, who had stepped down from Test captaincy earlier this year following Bangladesh’s 1-0 series defeat to Sri Lanka in June. At the time, Shanto had suggested that having three separate captains across formats “would be difficult for the team to deal with”.
Shanto had initially been Bangladesh’s all-format skipper before relinquishing the T20I captaincy to Litton Das and later being replaced by Mehidy Hasan Miraz as ODI captain. However, ahead of the upcoming two-Test series against Ireland starting November 11 in Sylhet, the BCB reinstated him as Test captain, reaffirming its faith in his leadership for the ongoing WTC cycle.
