Walls closing in on captain Shanto

Najmul Hossain Shanto, the current Bangladesh captain across formats, is facing immense pressure due to his poor batting form in T20Is ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup. His T20I struggles are stark with just 189 runs in his last 10 innings at a strike rate of 102. While captaincy has boosted his ODI numbers, his T20I woes along with the team’s shambolic performances, including a series loss to the USA, have put Shanto under tremendous scrutiny as captain and batsman.
