Najmul Hossain Shanto considers stepping down as Bangladesh captain across all formats

Handed the captaincy baton in February following Shakib Al Hasan’s departure, Shanto’s tenure has seen both highs and lows. Under his leadership, the team secured two Test victories in Pakistan and reached the Super Eight in the T20 World Cup.

After just seven months in charge, Bangladesh’s multi-format captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, may step down from his leadership role. The upcoming Test against South Africa in Chattogram could be his final game as captain, as both Shanto and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed his intent to relinquish the role, according to Cricbuzz.

Handed the captaincy baton in February following Shakib Al Hasan’s departure, Shanto’s tenure has seen both highs and lows. Under his leadership, the team secured two Test victories in Pakistan and reached the Super Eight in the T20 World Cup. However, notable losses, including a series defeat to the USA and a poor run against India, have sparked debate about his leadership effectiveness. Additionally, Shanto's own poor form and controversial public statements have added to the scrutiny.

Reportedly, Shanto communicated to BCB his wish to resign from captaincy after the South Africa series. Currently, the BCB president, Faruque Ahmed, is abroad, and his reaction is yet to be revealed. However, a senior BCB official mentioned, ""Yes, he informed us that he is not ready to lead the side after the South Africa series." Shanto, when asked by Cricbuzz, said, "Let's see what happens (as far as leading Bangladesh is concerned) because I am still waiting to hear it from the president (BCB)."

Rumor has it that a top BCB official is attempting to persuade Shanto to reconsider his decision. Initially, Shanto planned to step down from T20 captaincy after the 2024 T20 World Cup, but has now expressed a desire to give up the role across all three formats.

If Shanto steps down, it’s uncertain who will take up the mantle. Mehidy Hasan Miraz is a likely candidate for the Test and ODI captaincies, while Towhid Hridoy may lead the T20 squad. With the ICC Champions Trophy approaching in February 2025, Bangladesh have an ODI series against Afghanistan, which could see the debut of a new captain.
