Left-handed batter Najmul Hossain Shanto has been made the captain of Bangladesh national team for all three editions of cricket.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Nazmul Hasan Papon announced this after a meeting of the board of directors at the BCB headquarters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Monday.
Earlier, Shanto had led the team against New Zealand both home and away series last year in the absence of regular captain Shakib Al Hasan.
Under Shanto’s leadership, the Tiger’s registered their first ODI and Twenty20 victory against the Kiwis in New Zealand and also a home Test win against the Black Caps.
Shakib, who is now a Member of the Parliament, had earlier said before last year's ICC ODI World Cup that he would leave the captaincy duties in the 50-over format after the tournament.
