Bangladesh coach Mohammad Salahuddin has opposed experimenting too much with the captaincy of the team, stating that it could lead to problems in the future
In a live session with Cricfrenzy, the topic of discussion was mainly about the captaincy of Nazmul Hossain Shanto, who was made the acting captain in the absence of Shakib in the crucial match against India.
In response to a question, about whether experienced Mushfiqur Rahim or Mahmudullah Riyad could have done better than Shanto as acting captain.

The coach said, 'For God's sake, don't create too many captains in the dressing room. Maybe there is a good friendship now but it won’t stay forever. Then you will see what happens in the dressing room,'
Bangladesh suffered their straight third defeat in the ongoing World Cup as the Tigers were thrashed by 7 wickets in their fourth encounter with India.
According to Salahuddin, having more than one captain in the dressing room will never bring good results. He further added, "Suppose I am the captain of white ball cricket. One is the captain of the World Cup and the other is the captain of the Test team. When I am the captain of red-ball cricket, I will have some players around me. When a white-ball captain comes, he will just kick them out of the team,”
“Suppose a white ball captain is doing badly, a red ball captain might be doing good. Then the red ball captain will question his captaincy. There is a continuous change in the captaincy. This is a very bad practice. There are not ten leaders in a country, but only one. You make the leader the one who can do everything. There will be chaos if there are ten people,” he added.
