Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out of the only Test against Afghanistan due to a finger injury. Liton Das will handle the captaincy. How much will he get? Will there be a shortage of batting in the additional responsibility?
Shakib Al Hasan injured his finger while taking a catch in the second ODI of the Ireland series. The third ODI was not played. Knocked out for six weeks. Not staying in the only Test against Afghanistan.
In such a situation, the burden of captaincy falls on the shoulders of Shakib’s deputy Liton in Tests. However, it was heard that he was reluctant to lead. Because, the added responsibility, takes away the concentration in batting.
However, Lytton will be the one to toss along with Rashid Khan against the Afghans. Chief selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu confirmed the same. 28-year-old Litton also agreed without hesitation.
First time in Test. He has experience of captaincy in ODIs. In Tamim’s absence at home last December, he managed the series against India. 2-1 victory also came. Now it’s time to see how Liton can handle Shakib’s work.
