BCB names teams for Challenge Cup<\/strong>
\nThe Bangladesh Cricket Board on Wednesday named the national squad for the upcoming
\nChallenge Cup one-day without appointing a captain.
\nWicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim, widely viewed as the frontrunner to succeed Sakib al Hasan as Tigers\u2019 captain, is expected to lead the side in the tournament that will also feature the Bangladesh A and GP-BCB National Academy teams.
\nMushfique\u2019s chances of securing the captaincy were boosted further when his main challenger for the post, all-rounder Mahmudullah, was demoted to the A team in an apparent bid to monitor his leadership skills.
\nMahmudullah\u2019s demotion enabled Mohammad Ashraful to retain his place in the national side despite a run of abject performances in the ODI series against Zimbabwe.
\nBatsman Alok Kapali was also included in the national side while Junaed Siddique was demoted to the A team.
\nThe Challenge Cup begins on September 12 with the national team facing GP-BCB Academy side in the opening match.
\nNational Squad<\/strong>
\nImrul Kayes, Tamim Iqbal, Shahriar Nafees, Mushfiqur Rahim, Sakib al Hasan, Shuvogata Hom, Alok Kapali, Nasir Hossain, Abdur Razzak, Mohammad Ashraful,\u00a0 Shafiul Islam, Sohrawardi Shuvo, Nazmul Hossain and\u00a0 Rubel Hossain.
\nBangladesh A team<\/strong>
