Das will be in charge until the next year’s ICC T20 World Cup 2026. He got the full-time T20I captaincy after Najmul Hossain Shanto stepped down from this position.
Well, Litton Das earned the full-time captaincy in the shorter format of the game after doing well as a stand-in captain during the West Indies tour, where Bangladesh won all their matches. His first assignment as the permanent captain will be the upcoming T20I series against the UAE.
BCB cricket operation chairman Najmul Abedin was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz, “Litton Das will lead the side until the T20 World Cup next year. For Litton, experience has been an important factor. We don't have many experienced players in the current setup. While there were discussions about his form, we believe he has the potential. If he can organize his game, he'll be an asset to the team.”
BCB announces squad for UAE and Pakistan tour
Following the two-match T20I series in the UAE, the Tigers will travel to Pakistan to play a five-match T20I series, starting on May 25. Meanwhile, BCB has also named a 16-member squad for the upcoming UAE and Pakistan tours.
Das is most likely to bat at number three in the upcoming T20Is.
Litton Das (C), Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali, Rishad Hossain, Mahedi Hasan (VC), Tanvir Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Nahid Rana, and Shoriful Islam.
BCB to announce the ODI and Test captains soon
He said the board will announce the names soon, as it's important to fill the leadership gap. Najmul stressed that captaincy isn’t just about match day, but it’s a full-time role that requires planning and leadership both on and off the field.
Najmul signed off by saying, “We will announce the ODI and Test captains soon. It's necessary to fill up the vacuum. Test matches may come in two to two-and-a-half months' time, and while we could announce the captain a week before that, leadership isn't just about the match—it's a full-time responsibility.”
