PAKISTAN TOUR OF BANGLADESH, 2026

Litton set to take up middle-order role in ODI comeback against Pakistan

Tuesday, 10 March 2026



Bangladesh national cricket team's senior assistant coach Mohammad Salahuddin has revealed the decision to demote Litton Kumar Das to the middle order in ODIs, saying that the "team is bigger than individuals," according to Cricbuzz.
Litton, who is making a comeback in the 50-over format with the upcoming three-match ODI series against Pakistan, is expected to bat down the order rather than at the top, a position that saw him produce all of his five ODI centuries.
Leading up to the series, Litton recently batted at five in a practice game against BCL All Stars XI, which the national outfit played as part of their preparation for the Pakistan series. It seems like Litton will now have to sacrifice his preferred position at the top and focus on anchoring the innings in the middle order.
