BCB appoints Miraz, Shanto, Saif as format-wise vice-captains

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Tuesday announced a reshuffle in leadership roles across all three formats, appointing Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Saif Hassan as vice-captains of the Test, ODI, and T20I teams, respectively.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been named vice-captain of the Bangladesh Test side, where he will serve as deputy to Najmul Hossain Shanto. Shanto, who has been leading the red-ball team, will remain captain until the end of the current ICC World Test Championship cycle.

In ODIs, the leadership structure has been reversed, with Shanto taking over as vice-captain under Miraz. The BCB had earlier confirmed Miraz as the ODI captain for a one-year term in June.

Saif Hassan has been promoted to the role of T20I vice-captain following a run of consistent performances in the shortest format. Litton Das will continue to lead the side until next year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
