Rating the Bangladesh Test captains so far

1 Mushfiqur Rahim

At number 1 and for good reason is Bangladesh’s current Test captain and wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim.

Having been made captain in 2011, he is the nation’s most successful captain ever. Rahim has led Bangladesh to 7 wins in 32 Tests and lost only 10 of them while drawing the rest.

However, it must be pointed out that his better record as captain is also down to the fact that Bangladesh now produces plenty of cricketers who are of the international standard.

Although Bangladesh are still not that competitive away from home, they have made their home a fortress under Rahim’s captaincy and have drawn two test series with England and Australia over the past two seasons.
