Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been appointed as the captain of the Bangladesh national cricket team for the upcoming One Day International (ODI) series against the West Indies, following Shakib Al Hasan’s absence due to injury. Shakib sustained a back injury during the recent ODI series against New Zealand, which has led to him being ruled out of the squad. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirms Shakib’s absence and has turned to Miraz for leadership in a crucial series, with the first match scheduled for July 10, 2023. Miraz, who has previously been a key player for Bangladesh as an off-spin bowler and lower-order batsman, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity. ‘Leading the team is a great honor, and I hope to contribute to our success against a competitive West Indies side,’ he stated. Bangladesh will also be missing other key players, with the team facing several challenges ahead of the series. The squad will see a mix of experienced players and younger talent as they embark on one of their most significant tours this year. Fans and analysts alike are eagerly anticipating how Bangladesh will perform under Miraz’s captaincy, especially in light of the team’s latest performances in international cricket.
