Bangladesh Names Litton Das Captain for T20 World Cup 2026 Squad Amid Match Location Debate

Bangladesh has announced its 15-member squad for the 2026 T20 World Cup, with Litton Das named captain and Mohammed Saif Hassan as vice-captain. The squad includes key players like Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed, alongside spinners Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, and Rishad Hossain. The team is placed in Group C with England, West Indies, Nepal, and Italy, beginning their campaign on February 7 against the West Indies in Kolkata. This announcement comes amid reports of the Bangladesh Cricket Board seeking to shift their matches from India to Sri Lanka due to player safety concerns following Mustafizur Rahman's IPL release.
