Litton Das appointed Bangladesh ODI captain

Litton Das has been named Bangladesh's new ODI captain ahead of the 2027 World Cup cycle. He already leads the side in T20Is and will now assume responsibility across both white-ball formats. Mehidy Hasan, the previous ODI captain, is expected to focus on regaining form without the added leadership duties. The Bangladesh Cricket Board believes the change will allow Mehidy to concentrate on his batting and bowling contributions.
