Delhi:On Saturday, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced that Miraz would continue to be the ODI captain until 2027. The Board also said that Litton Das would continue to lead the T20I team until the World Cup in 2028.
Bangladesh's time as captain of the T20 team ended with the T20 World Cup 2026, which Bangladesh withdrew from. Bangladesh has made sure that things stay the same by keeping Das on until the 2028 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. "Our T20 captain's time in charge ended with the 2026 T20 World Cup. The current T20 captain and vice-captain will stay in charge until the next T20 World Cup in 2028." Our ODI captain's time in charge is also coming to an end at the same time. Nazmul Abedeen Fahim, the chairman of BCB Cricket Operations, told the press after a board meeting, "So, we think it's very important that the captains can work without interruptions and stick to a long-term vision."
"Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been in charge of the team for about a year now. With the World Cup coming up, we thought this would be a good chance for him to organize and strengthen the team even more. I think Miraz has been doing well and has helped the team a lot. He went on to say, "Taking all of these things into account, this choice was made to give the captains a long-term position so that they can have a big impact on how the team is run and shaped."
BCB hires Rafique as a consultant for spin bowling.At the same time, the BCB hired former Bangladeshi spinner Mohammad Rafique as their spin-bowling consultant for a year. "Right now, it's a one-year deal. Nazmul said, "Based on how Mohammad Rafique has played, especially his bowling, and the tournaments he has played in recently, many of us think he is not yet ready to retire."
"Even at this age, his attitude and focus on the field during a regular game are impressive. Nazmul said, "We think it would be very helpful for us if he worked with our junior, intermediate, or even senior-level players who bowl spin and they could learn from him."
"To be honest, if we do the math, we have about eight to ten coaches who teach pace bowling. But when we look back, we can't even find three spin-bowling coaches in the whole country. That is very scary. We need to train our own spin coaches. Rafique is almost a ready-made person who can do this right away.
"We may also find two or four more people in the future who can work in this field. Before, the BCB had made a decision in parliament that we don't have enough specialized staff. This is very important. He added, "With that in mind, Rafique has been added, and we will continue to work and investigate to make this area even stronger."
