Bangladesh T20 captain Litton Das has hinted he may step down from leadership duties ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup, citing interference in team selection. Despite leading Bangladesh to three consecutive series wins and a strong Asia Cup run, Litton expressed frustration after selectors dropped Shamim Hossain from the Ireland series squad without consulting him. Chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu stated that fulfilling the captain’s preferences was not his primary responsibility, emphasizing the selectors’ autonomy. Litton revealed he was told to work only with the team given to him, without input on player choices—a departure from standard practice in international cricket. His remarks have sparked debate over the captain’s authority in Bangladesh cricket. When asked if he would continue as captain through the World Cup, Litton responded ambiguously, suggesting his future in the role remains uncertain.
