Bangladesh Tuesday named fast bowler Mashrafe Mortaza as captain of the national team, replacing Mohammad Ashraful, for the cricket tours of West Indies and Zimbabwe.
Mohammad Ashraful:
Ashraful took over the captaincy from Habibul Bashar in June 2007.
"Mohammad Ashraful has been removed from the captaincy because of poor batting,"
Under Ashraful's captaincy, Bangladesh won only eight games in 38 ODIs, and failed to win a Test, losing 12 out of 13. His performance with the bat suffered in both forms of the game as captain.
He also said that change was not related to Bangladesh's poor performance in the recently concluded Twenty20 World Cup.
"We all know his quality and what he is capable of as a batsman and we are confident that without the burden of captaincy his batting would flourish and he would contribute more to the team."
All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is the new captain in Bangladesh National cricket team.
Bangladesh National cricket team will play two Tests, three ODIs and a Twenty20 match in West Indies starting July 3.
