Mehidy Hasan Miraz Appointed Vice-Captain of Bangladesh for ICC Champions Trophy

Dhaka: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced Mehidy Hasan Miraz as the vice-captain of Bangladesh men’s cricket team ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy to be played in Pakistan and the UAE from February 19. The 27-year-old allrounder, who has been one of Bangladesh’s most consistent performers across formats, will serve as deputy to Najmul Hossain Shanto for the marquee tournament set to begin on February 19.

Having already captained Bangladesh in the absence of Shanto during their recent tour of the West Indies, Mehidy’s leadership credentials have been recognised by the BCB. With 103 ODIs under his belt, the Khulna-born cricketer has not only established himself as a key figure in Bangladesh’s lineup but has also emerged as a reliable leader when called upon. IANS
