BCB plans separate red-ball and white-ball captains
Bangladesh Cricket Board plans to split red-ball and white-ball captaincy roles due to transition and injury issues.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board is set to appoint separate captains for red-ball and white-ball formats. The move comes amid a squad transition and injury concerns. Cricbuzz reported that the board expects the change to help manage workloads and maintain form across formats.
Bangladesh currently operates with a single captain across all formats. The shift aligns with similar structures used by several other Test nations. The board has not yet named the candidates for either role.
The decision is expected ahead of the next international window. It remains unclear whether the new captains will be drawn from the existing leadership group.
CricHubb Take
If the split sticks, the Test captain's performance record could become the only measure that matters, while the white-ball skipper gets judged purely on T20 and ODI results.
