Wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim has been appointed captain of the Bangladesh series at home against the West Indies and Pakistan in October and December. Mahmudullah, all-rounder, has been appointed captain of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
"It's the ultimate honor for any cricketer. I thank the Council for entrusting me with this responsibility, "said Mushfiqur." I am fully aware of the expectations of the whole nation, and I will be totally committed to ensuring that the Bangladesh team strives to fulfill the dream of millions. "
Bangladesh were left without the captain and vice captain, after the government had dismissed Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, and the positions after the disappointing tour of Zimbabwe, where they lost a one-off test and ODI series.
