Shakib-Sohan to captain the T20 squad

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has not been able to succeed even though it has taken several initiatives to organize the Bangladesh T20 team, for quite some time. BCB governing body is thinking about several changes in the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe. 

A BCB director said that Shakib Al Hasan is being made T20I captain and Nurul Hasan Sohan will be his deputy. Shakib will be asked to take over the captaincy of the team in Zimbabwe series. If he does not agree, vice-captain Sohan will lead the team in the three-match series.

If BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon agrees, the cricket management department can implement this plan, said the official.

Team Bangladesh will fly to Zimbabwe on July 26 to play three T20Is and as many ODIs. T20I matches will be played on July 30 and August 1 and 2. ODIs will be held on August 5, 7, and 10 respectively. The squad for the bilateral series is likely to be announced today.
