Nazmul Hassan Papon
‘Shakib was the obvious choice’
There was no surprise as Shakib Al Hasan was named the ODI captain for the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup yesterday, the only surprise was how it was announced.
Bizarre culmination of an 'obvious decision'
Just before revealing the name of Bangladesh’s new ODI captain for the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon on Friday told the fortunate reporters present at his residence, “If you ask anyone, they will tell you who it is going to be. It was an obvious choice.”
No-one more serious than Shakib, says Papon
Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan Papon said he has seen a noticeable change in Shakib Al Hasan towards his dedication towards cricket.
Papon thinks three-format captaincy will put too much pressure on Shakib
Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan Papon said that he would discuss with Shakib Al Hasan which formats the cricketer wants to captain, following the declaration that Shakib will lead Bangladesh in the Asia Cup and World Cup – both in 50-over format.
Will serious investigation follow serious accusation?
The most crucial aspect in the situation surrounding Tamim Iqbal's injury is how things were allowed to escalate so far that led to the skipper having to step down from captaincy.
Tamim's sole focus on World Cup
Tamim Iqbal stepped down from captaincy yesterday after the much-awaited meeting with Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon and cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus, with injury at the heart of the decision.
Captaincy issue still at large?
“We have to know what he [Tamim] thinks regarding the Asia Cup and whether he will play. If he plays, we will definitely ask for his opinion. Even if he communicates that he won’t be able to play, we have to think of alternatives and also ask for his opinion. We are hoping he will sit with us in the next one or two days,” the BCB president said yesterday
BCB announces Tk 35 lakh bonus for women's team
"Normally we give bonuses when we win a series, but since we won our first ODI against India and there were a few individual performances like Fargana Hoque who scoring a century, we decided to give Tk 25 lakh for the players," Papon told reporters
More than just cricketing reasons?
Bangladesh slumped to a 142-run defeat against Afghanistan in the second and penultimate ODI on Saturday to lose their first-ever ODI series against the visitors. The Tigers have enjoyed a healthy record at home and the series defeat was only their third at home since 2016. The question that most comes to mind is whether the defeat had more to do with non-cricketing reasons than cricketing ones.
