Rating the Bangladesh Test captains so far

6 Mohammad Ashraful

Bangladesh v Ireland: Group B - 2011 ICC World Cup

Disgraced former Bangladesh star Mohammad Ashraful was probably his nation’s first world class batsman but his spell as the national team captain was an eminently forgettable one. Bangladesh lost 12 out of 13 Tests and a rain affected game against New Zealand was drawn.

Ashraful’s captaincy was heavily criticised by the local media and before long it became a matter of time before he would be sacked by the selectors. He was considered one of the poorest captains the nation ever had.
