Litton replaces Miraz as ODI captain

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Tamim Iqbal confirmed at a press conference in Mirpur on Wednesday that Litton Das has been appointed ODI captain, adding the 50-over format to his T20I captaincy and replacing Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

Miraz had led Bangladesh since 2024, taking over from Najmul Hossain Shanto. Under his leadership, the Tigers won 10 matches, lost 13 and tied one in 24 matches. He boasts a winning percentage of 43.75, the third-best among Bangladesh captains to have led the team in at least 10 matches, behind Mashrafe Mortaza (58.13) and Shakib Al Hasan (44.26).
