Just a day after bagging a fifer to help Bangladesh win their second T20I against Zimbabwe on Sunday, all-rounder Mosaddek Hossain was announced by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) as the skipper for the Tigers for the third T20I after skipper Nurul Hasan Sohan was ruled out from the rest of the tour with an injury. 

Meanwhile, Mahmudullah Riyad, who is already in Zimbabwe with the ODI squad, has been named as Sohan's replacement in the squad for the final T20I in Harare tomorrow.  

Sohan, who was named skipper for the three-match T20I series, hurt his left index finger while keeping against fast bowler Hasan Mahmud during the second T20I at the Harare Sports Club yesterday which Bangladesh won by seven wickets.
