Mushfiqur Rahim has retained captaincy for Tests while Mashrafe Bin Mortaza will lead the Tigers in the limited-over forms, Bangladesh Cricket Board announced on Sunday.
Mashrafe was handed a one-match ban by the ICC after his second slow over-rate offence of the World Cup in the quarter-final match against India. Consequently, the strapping pacer will be unavailable for the first ODI on Apr 17, reports bdnews24.com.
In his stead, vice-captain Shakib Al Hasan will lead the team in the series-opener, BCB President Nazmul Hassan told reporters after a board meeting.
All three matches of the ODI series will be played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
Mashrafe will captain the side in the next two matches on April 19 and 22 and in the lone T20 match - also to be played at the Sher-e-Bangla with Shakib as vice-captain.
The first Test will start on April 28 in Khulna with Mushfiqur as the Tigers' captain and Tamim Iqbal as his deputy.
The teams will return to Mirpur for the second Test that kicks off on May 6.
Khaled Mahmud Sujon will act as the manager of the Bangladesh team in the series.
