The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Saturday appointed Shakib Al Hasan as the T20I skipper until the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.

The BCB announcement brought an end to the uncertainty of the past couple of weeks, when Shakib was told by the board to choose between playing for Bangladesh or keeping his endorsement with a "betting company". After the board's ultimatum, the all-rounder had pulled out of his controversial deal with Betwinner News.
