Rajin to lead Tigers in England

Team leaves today

SpoRTS REpoRTER
Rajin Saleh will lead Bangladesh in next month's ICC Champions Trophy in England.
The Bangladesh team leave for the British Isles today morning.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday announced Saleh as makeshift skipper following a meeting in the
afternoon after regular captain Habibul Bashar became unavailable for tournament because of a thumb injury.
Although there were speculations that ex-captain Khaled Mahmud could be asked to lead the side in England, the Board eventually went the traditional way by giving the

responsibility to the 21-year-old vicecaptain. Another former skipper Khaled Mashud has been made Saleh's deputy.
"I never expected captaincy to come this early but I was always preparing for the job as the team's vice-captain. I believe this responsibility will help me regain my batting form," said Saleh in his instant reaction to the appointment.
Prior to the competition that begins on September 10, the Tigers will play four matches against Ireland and Scotland. Their first group game in the Champions Trophy is against South Africa on September 12 at Edgbaston and the last against the West Indies on September 15 at the Rose Bowl.
Right-hander Saleh has scored 450 runs in 19 ODIs at 23.68 and has picked up six wickets with his occasional off-spin.
