Bangladesh skipper Litton Das expressed his anticipation for a challenging series against the West Indies in Chattogram. This series, along with the upcoming one against Ireland, is crucial for their preparation leading to the ICC T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka and India next February.
Das, back in the squad after an injury layoff, emphasized the importance of putting his players under pressure in both bowling and batting during these series. He highlighted the significance of facing tough situations to strengthen the team’s performance in the upcoming World Cup.
The wicketkeeper-batter shared his eagerness to return to competitive cricket after being sidelined due to injury. He reflected on the disappointment of missing out on recent matches, including the Asia Cup and the series against Afghanistan, while acknowledging the unpredictability of injuries in sports.
With the Test captaincy position open after Najmul Hossain Shanto’s resignation, Das emerged as a potential candidate given his prior experience leading in the longer format. However, he clarified that there have been no discussions regarding the role with the board yet, emphasizing the significance of such a responsibility in his cricketing career.
