Bangladesh Cricket Board official confirmed on Thursday (January 2) that Najmul Hossain Shanto has decided to step down as the national T20I captain.

'Shanto finally told us that he won't lead in the T20Is and we accepted it but as we don't have T20Is at the moment, we have time in hand and so we are not picking a new captain,' a top BCB official told Cricbuzz. 'If there is no injury issue Najmul will remain the captain in Test and ODIs and we have discussed it,' he said.
