Mahmud dumped by Bangladesh

Sunday, January 25 2004

Khaled Mahmud has been stripped of the Bangladeshi captaincy and dropped from the squad for February's Two-Test Series against Zimbabwe.

Faruq Ahmed, the chief selector, said, "We chose the best player for the captain's job."

Uncapped left-arm spinner Manjural Islam Rana is called up alongside fellow uncapped bowler Tareq Aziz, a right-arm seamer. whilst Shariar Hossain is recalled for the first time since Bangladesh's inaugural Test against India, when he made 19 and 7.
