After Tamim Iqbal stepped down from ODI captaincy, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has handed the leadership to ace all-rounder Shakib al Hasan for upcoming major tournaments like Asia Cup and World Cup.

For the first time on Sunday, Shakib talked after being named the captain as he said he is ready to take the challenge for the upcoming World Cup and show the world how well Bangladesh have developed in the white-ball format.

“It’s nothing new to me [on captaincy]. It’s a great challenge for our team to showcase how good we became in the last four years. It will be a great opportunity for us to do well in this World Cup. I think we are a very good team. We are playing really well in the white ball format, so it’s time to show everyone how good we are,” said Shakib during a Lanka Premier League (LPL) match between his team Galle Titans and Jaffna Kings.
