BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon has spoken to Mominul about this at one point. He wants to know whether he will concentrate on batting or lead. The decision will be made before the tour of the West Indies. If Shakib becomes the captain, the in-form Liton Das may come in the lead. Bangladesh has not had a co-captain in any format for a long time. But this time Liton can get the official responsibility. These matters will be decided at the next board meeting on June 2.

Earlier on Monday, BCB Cricket Operations Chairman Jalal Yunus’s remarks sparked speculation. Mominul has lost his batting form due to his leadership, said team director Khaled Mahmood Sujan, head coach Russell Domingo and senior coach Nazmul Abedin Fahim.

On Monday, Jalal Yunus said of Mominul’s leadership, “This was made clear by the president a few days ago. Not only us but also the President will sit with Mominul. He sat down and talked with her (on the day of the match). Maybe there’s more to talk about. It is not possible at this time because he is out of the country. After coming, sit with Mominul.

Mominul has played 17 matches as captain. He has scored 912 runs in these matches. His batting average of 50 touches has come down to 31.44. Under Mominul’s leadership, Bangladesh has won three matches, drawn two matches, and lost the remaining 12 matches.
