T20
Cricket's journey on a quirky camel
According to Nazmul Abedin Fahim, "In Bangladesh's cricket culture, captains are not born; they are made." The effort to develop a captain for the Tigers has stumbled just eight months in, as reports suggest that Najmul Hossain Shanto will step down from captaincy across all formats after the Chattogram Test. What the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) plans to do in response to this unexpected issue remains to be seen; however, the comments from board director Nazmul Abedin Fahim indicate underlying complexities within the country's cricket.
