Bangladesh and Afghanistan are all set to take on each other in the second game of the three-match ODI series on Saturday, July 8 at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. However, Bangladesh could have a new captain in the game as Tamim Iqbal, on Thursday, announced his retirement from international cricket as well. However, Litton has earlier captained the team last year, when Tamim was out of the ODI series against India due to an injury. Having also led teams in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), leadership is not new to Litton as well.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, have roped in Rony Talukdar as a replacement for Tamim Iqbal as well. Talukdar has been quite impressive in T20Is, but he is yet to find his feet in the ODI format of the game. However, Bangladesh lost the first ODI by 17 runs (DLS) after rain played spoilsport. It is also noteworthy that, Towhid Hridoy scored a quick half-century, but his efforts went in vain. Fazalhaq Farooqi won the Player of the Match award for claiming three wickets as well. Seeing this, a good contest can be expected as well.
The match will be live-streamed on FanCode.
