Split-captaincy in Zim series?

An interaction between the media and the Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan Papon at Mirpur yesterday has spread doubts over Mushfiqur Rahim's chances of captaining Bangladesh in all three formats during the Zimbabwe series next month.
Speaking to reporters yesterday Papon said that the board will take a 'final decision' regarding the introduction of split-captaincy in a board meeting this Tuesday.
When asked who the contenders would be, if the board eventually did agree to name different captains for different formats, Papon said, “There are many options. Mashrafe [Bin Mortaza], Tamim[Iqbal], Shakib [Al Hasan], anyone can be there. We don't have a special choice, but we will decide at the board meeting after a series of discussions.”
Papon further said that if a new captain is indeed named, he expects it to be just for the Zimbabwe series.
“The decision, if approved by the board, will just be for the Zimbabwe series. We will take a permanent decision before the World Cup because we believe that we need time to observe the players,” said Papon.
The president also said that he had separate meetings with Mashrafe, Shakib and Tamim.
When asked specifically about Mashrafe's chances, he said, “Mashrafe's chances are there if we decide to divide the Test and one day captains. But he can also get injured at any time, so naturally we have to observe him for a while.”
With regards to Shakib he said, “I am fully satisfied with Shakib and his behaviour, but we still need to see how he performs in the Zimbabwe series.”
During his meetings with the senior players Papon asked them to 'encourage' the team so that they could get back to their winning ways. Bangladesh are yet to win an ODI or Test against a test playing nation in 2014.
“We have lost several close matches this year. I think it should be the senior players in the side who encourage the team and help regain their spirit.
Mashrafe, in the absence of Mushfiqur Rahim—who has been excused due to his wedding preparations—will lead the Tigers in the Asian Games in Incheon this month.
While speculations regarding a split captaincy-- with Mashrafe at the forefront of leading the ODI team—have been dominating the press ever since the return of the Bangladesh team from the West Indies, the pacer himself, refused to speak on the issue.
Prior to the press conference with the BCB president, Mashrafe was asked as to whether he was ready to captain the team if given the opportunity. He replied, “At this point of time I am only thinking about the Asian Games and ensuring that the team plays well there. The board has not spoken to me about this issue and it's best that I don't speak about the matter.”
