Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Sunday appointed all-rounder Shakib as Test captain, removing Mushfiqur Rahim from the post ahead of the two-Test home series against Sri Lanka starting January.

Earlier, on September 13, 2013, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s son and her ICT affairs adviser Sajeeb Wazed at a programme praised Shakib calling ‘Shakib Bhai [brother]. I am your huge fan.’ 

Joy in his speech said “We are now getting more success in cricket, also have conquest Everest, our goal is to make Bangladeshi proud all over the world.”

It is mentionable that, Shakib, who took the helm of the national Twenty20 side from Mashrafe Mortaza in South Africa, takes charge of the Test squad for the second time, having led the side in nine Tests between 2009 and 2011.
