jaker ali to captain bangladesh as afghanistan’s new faces take centre stage
In Litton Das’s absence, Jaker Ali leads Bangladesh; Afghanistan bloods tested in T20Is.
With Litton Das sidelined due to a side strain, Jaker Ali has been handed the captaincy role for Bangladesh in the ongoing T20I series against Afghanistan. This is a significant opportunity for Jaker, who has shown promise as a wicketkeeper-batter. His leadership will be under scrutiny, particularly in shaping Bangladesh’s approach in tight games. Meanwhile, Afghanistan’s squad features several newcomers who are expected to be under the microscope. The series offers them a platform to stake their claim, test skills under pressure, and integrate into the national setup. The contrasting scenarios Bangladesh under a makeshift captain, and Afghanistan looking to build depth make this series especially intriguing.
