Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will sit down for a meeting today with several immediate agendas, particularly those related to the coach and captaincy.

Taskin Ahmed and Liton Das were the names being considered for the T20 captaincy once speculation regarding Najmul Hossain Shanto started to gain ground. Liton, too, had claimed, after the 3-0 series sweep in the West Indies, that he was ready to take over if BCB wanted.

As it stands, Liton -- who was left out of the Champions Trophy -- is the front-runner to take over the T20I captaincy, sources inside the board have claimed. The national team has been without a selector since Hannan Sarkar's resignation; thus, the vacant spot on the selection panel is also on the agenda.

"Some proposals will be made, and they will be discussed. Shipon [Sazzad Ahmed] is being considered as one of the proposed names," a BCB source informed.

BCB has been positive about head coach Phil Simmons, and while the official decision to extend his contract has not been announced, the board is likely to finalise the matter in the coming days.

"Simmons has already been confirmed, according to information in the board, but the decision would be discussed in the board meeting," a source said.
