Najmul Hossain Shanto Resigns: Bangladesh Test captain Najmul Hussain Shanto resigns from post

New Delhi. Bangladesh has suffered defeat in the two -Test series on the tour of Sri Lanka. After drawing the first match, the visiting team suffered an embarrassing defeat in the second match. Unhappy with this defeat, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hussain Shanto has decided to resign from his post. The decision was taken after losing the series 1-0 in Sri Lanka, where the team lost by an innings and 78 runs in the second Test in Colombo.

In the press conference after the match, Shanto said that his decision has been taken keeping in mind the future of the team and not due to personal disappointment. Shanto said, “I no longer want to continue as captain in the Test format. It is not personal. I have taken this decision for the team’s good. I think it will help the team. I have been a part of the dressing room for the last few years.

I think it is not prudent for three international formats to be three captains. I do not know what the board will think about this and I will support their decision. But this is my personal decision. I think it will be difficult for the three different captains to handle for the team. “

Shanto insisted that this decision should not be seen as a response to emotional or recent series defeat. “I want anyone not to consider this decision as emotional or not to think that I am disappointed with anything. I want to clarify this. It is for the good of the team.”
