‘We act as if nothing affects us’: Najmul Hossain Shanto on uncertainty over Bangladesh’s participation in T20 World Cup in India | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Bangladesh’s Test skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto said that even though the uncertainty around the team’s participation in the upcoming T20 World Cup in India is affecting the players, they are acting as if everything was ok. Shanto also slammed Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Director M Najmul Islam for calling former captain Tamim Iqbal an agent of India. “First of all, if you look at our World Cup results, we’ve never really played consistently good cricket. Last year, we did play well, but there were even better opportunities, and we couldn’t capitalise on them. But you’ll see that something always happens before every World Cup. I can say this from my experience of three World Cups – it does have an effect. Now, we act as if nothing affects us, that we are fully professional cricketers. You guys also understand that we are acting – it’s not easy. Of course, it would be better if these things didn’t happen, but this is partly beyond our control,” he said on Saturday. Bangladesh’s involvement in the showpiece event …

Litton Das Takes Dig at Selection Panel for Dropping Shamim Hossain for Ireland T20Is

Published by Webster

Litton Das has taken a dig at the national selection panel led by Gazi Ashraf after the omission of Shamim Patowary for the T20I series in the Ireland tour of Bangladesh 2025. Shamim, who failed to cut the T20I squad, scored four ducks in his last eight games while scoring only two runs in his last four games. In 2025, Shamim has played 24 T20Is and managed to score only 261 runs at an average of 1535 and a strike rate of 121.39. Speaking to the reporters Bangladesh T20I captain Litton Das said, “”Of course it would’ve been better if he (Shamim) was here. But it’s not my call – it’s the selectors’ call. I wasn’t informed about Shamim being dropped.” “I always thought a captain should know which player is coming in or going out. I don’t see a reason behind his exclusion. Whoever is in the 15-man squad is capable – still, yes, having Shamim would’ve been good. “I’ve been clearly told by the selectors and the board that I have to work …

After landing in Dubai when we heard that a missile struck the airport 20 minutes after we took off from the airport. The news was scary as well as sorrowful. I am relieved to be here now,” said Rishad Hossain. He also echoed voices of other players who were visibly shaken by the unfolding events, such as fellow Bangaldeshi, fast bowler Nahid Rana who plays for Peshawar Zalmi. “Nahid Rana was very quiet, maybe for the tension, as I understood.

Najmul Hossain Shanto To Continue As Bangladesh Captain For Upcoming ODI Series vs Afghanistan

Published by Webster

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has named Najmul Hossain Shanto as captain for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan in Sharjah next week, in a shakeup following Shanto’s request to step down from all-format captaincy. The decision came after a discussion between Shanto and BCB president Faruque Ahmed on Thursday following Bangladesh’s recent Test in Chattogram. Though Shanto will lead the squad against Afghanistan, the BCB has yet to announce a long-term decision on his captaincy or the squad for the West Indies tour later in November, where Bangladesh will play two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is. As Shanto’s vice-captain for the Afghanistan series, Mehidy Hasan Miraz is seen as a leading candidate for future captaincy, with Taskin Ahmed also considered a strong option. Both players are in the ODI squad for the Afghanistan series and have shown leadership potential. Taskin, with his pace and experience, has been a mainstay in Bangladesh’s bowling attack, while Miraz’s all-round abilities make him a versatile asset. The 22-year-old uncapped pacer Nahid Rana is set …
