Mominul steps down as Test captain

Bangladesh Test captain Mominul has stepped down from his role as the captain of Bangladesh Test Team.

Mominul informed the media about this decision on Tuesday after a meeting at the BCB president Nazmul Hassan‍‍`s residence.

He said:"I am failing to contribute for the team as a captain. I feel that now it’s time to give the captaincy to someone else. I have said what I had to say, now the decision is up to them (BCB).”

Mominul said that the BCB president personally asked him to continue as the captain, but he doesn’t want to stay as skipper any longer. The BCB is expected to take the final decision over the captaincy situation during their next board meeting on 2 June.

Mominul was handed the Test captaincy in 2019 after the then Test skipper Shakib Al Hasan got banned by the ICC. Under his leadership, Bangladesh has played 17 Tests and won three.
