Nahida Akter Named Bangladesh Women's New T20I Captain, Succeeding Nigar Sultana
Bangladesh Cricket Board has appointed left-arm spinner Nahida Akter as the new captain of the women's T20I team, succeeding Nigar Sultana, who stepped down after the Asian Games to focus on her playing career and ODI captaincy. Sobhana Mostary was named vice-captain. Nahida, previously vice-captain since 2022, is seen as ready to lead the T20I squad. Sultana's decision reportedly followed dissatisfaction with her treatment by the board, though she remains ODI captain.
