Champions Trophy: Mehidy Hasan Miraz Named Bangladesh Vice-captain
The Bangladesh Cricket Board: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced Mehidy Hasan Miraz as the vice-captain of Bangladesh men's cricket team ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy to be played in Pakistan and the UAE from February 19. The 27-year-old allrounder, who has been one of Bangladesh’s most consistent performers across formats, will serve as deputy to Najmul Hossain Shanto for the marquee tournament set to begin on February 19.
Having already captained Bangladesh in the absence of Shanto during their recent tour of the West Indies, Mehidy’s leadership credentials have been recognised by the BCB. With 103 ODIs under his belt, the Khulna-born cricketer has not only established himself as a key figure in Bangladesh’s lineup but has also emerged as a reliable leader when called upon.
"The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed Mehidy Hasan Miraz as the vice-captain for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The 27-year-old allrounder has played 103 ODIs for Bangladesh and has the experience of captaining the side in recent months in the West Indies in the absence of captain Najmul Hossain Shanto who was injured," BCB said in a statement released on Thursday.
