New Appointment: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has confirmed that Nahida Akter will take over as Bangladesh's new T20I captain. Outgoing Captain: Nahida succeeds Nigar Sultana, who decided to step down from the T20I role following the Asian Games to focus more on her game. Sultana will, however, continue to lead the ODI side. New Vice-Captain: Sobhana Mostary has been named as Nahida's deputy and the new vice-captain of the T20I squad. Rafiqul said that the time was right to hand the reins to Nahida, who had been the team’s vice-captain since Sultana took charge as T20I captain in 2022. Leadership Continuity: BCB women’s wing chairman Rafiqul Islam noted that the time was right to elevate Nahida, who had served as the team's vice-captain under Sultana since 2022. Upcoming Fixtures: Bangladesh's next assignment under the new leadership will be at the ICC Women’s Emerging Nations Trophy in Thailand, where their campaign begins against Pakistan on November 12.
