Litton claimed that batters particularly suffered in two series back in 2021 against Australia and New Zealand, where Bangladesh won both series but received a lot of criticism for the tailor-made rank-turner wickets.

Captaincy, however, might have influenced his recent innings -- particularly the 76 in the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Dambulla, the highest score by a Bangladesh T20I captain.

The Bangladesh squad arrived in the country on Thursday following their 2-1 T20I series triumph against Sri Lanka on Wednesday. The Tigers, however, have little time to adjust to home conditions, with Pakistan already having arrived in Dhaka on Wednesday to play a three-match T20I series.

Speaking to the media upon returning home this morning, Nafees hailed Litton’s resilience and leadership under pressure.

Bangladesh T20I skipper Litton Das dedicated their T20I series triumph over Sri Lanka to the martyrs of the July movement last year.

Bangladesh captain Litton Das feels the T20I series win over Sri Lanka is a “big achievement” for Bangladesh cricket and lauded his team for showing “character” in the series-clinching eight-wicket win in the third T20I in Colombo on Wednesday.

As Bangladesh take on hosts Sri Lanka in the second T20I in Dambulla today in a bid to level the three-match series, all eyes will be on skipper Litton Das, who has so far failed to inspire an underperforming side since assuming captaincy full-time in May.

Simmons is demanding sharper execution in both batting and bowling units.

Bangladesh captain Litton Das said his lead bowler had a “bad day” and the batters did not “take responsibility” after his side suffered a seven-wicket drubbing at the hands of hosts Sri Lanka in the first match of the three-match T20I series in Pallekele on Thursday.

Bangladesh T20I skipper Litton Das said he is determined to identify and overcome his current struggles with the bat as the Tigers prepare for the first of a three-match T20I series against hosts Sri Lanka, starting today in Pallekele.

Litton Das became Bangladesh’s leading wicket-keeper in Tests as he surpassed his veteran teammate Mushfiqur Rahim for most dismissals on Day 2 of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Thursday.

Called back into the ODI squad, the 30-year-old returns with greater responsibilities to bear.

Bangladesh ended the penultimate day of the Galle Test as the happier of the two sides thanks to opener Shadman Islam's 76 and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto's unbeaten 56 as the visitors have reached 177-3 at stumps to lead Sri Lanka by 187 runs heading into the final day.

Litton Das had to walk back to the pavilion at the Galle International Stadium on the second day of Bangladesh’s first Test against Sri Lanka yesterday, falling just 10 runs short of what could have been his fifth Test century.

The Bangladesh cricket team has long epitomised an on-again, off-again pattern -- considering their enduring struggle with inconsistency across all formats.

Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain needs to go back to the training ground and rethink how he wants to win games for the Tigers. Because what he has been dishing out in Bangladesh’s consecutive T20I tours of the UAE and Pakistan has been nothing short of ordinary.

Evolving and growing through every phase of life is a natural phenomenon. For most, this brings about positive changes. But for the Bangladesh cricket team, the exact opposite is the case, as in every new series and tour, the Tigers unlock new problem areas in their game.

Bangladesh captain Litton Das apologised to fans after his side lost the third and final T20I against Pakistan in Lahore on Sunday to suffer a 3-0 clean sweep at the hands of the hosts.

Bangladesh skipper Litton Das lost the toss and was asked to bat first in the third and final T20I of the three-match series against Pakistan at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday.

Bangladesh skipper Litton Das lost the toss and were asked to field first in the second T20I of the three-match series against Pakistan at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Friday.
