This player became the new ODI captain of Bangladesh for 1 year, team never won under his captaincy

After Mehdi became the captain of the ODI team, now Bangladesh has different captains among the three formats. Mehdi has been entrusted with the responsibility of Najmul Hussain Shanto who is currently a Test captain and Litton Das is the captain of the T20 International Team.

Mehdi said, “It is a great respect for me to be entrusted with me this responsibility by the board.” Captaining the country’s team is the dream of any cricketer and I am grateful for the trust that the board has shown on me. I have full faith in this team. We have the talent and belief of playing fearless cricket. I want us to perform with confidence, play without any obstruction and continue our best performance for the country. “

Mehdi captained Bangledash in four ODIs last year due to Shantio injury. Bangladesh had to face defeat against Afghanistan and then against West Indies and in all four matches. Mehdi also commanded the Test team in the series against the West Indies and played an important role in drawing the second Test played in Jamaica. Mehdi has played 105 ODIs and is the fourth player to take 1000 runs and 100 wickets in this format for Bangladesh.

Shanto captained the Bangladesh team in 13 ODIs from 2023, which won four wins. Bangladesh won the ODI series against Sri Lanka last year, but suffered defeat against New Zealand, Afghanistan. Bangladesh was also out in the first round in the Champions Trophy held this year.
