Bangladesh's T20I captaincy has undergone a noticeable evolution over the years, highlighted by a significant transition from long-term captaincies to a more fluctuating leadership model in recent years.

Between 2009 and 2025, the Bangladesh team enjoyed periods of relative stability under captains like Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mashrafe Mortaza and Mahmudullah.

However, the narrative took a different turn post-2022, as Bangladesh cricket saw a rapid change in its captaincy. This period has been marked by short stints and frequent changes in leadership, leading to a phase of relative instability and mixed success. Captains like Nurul Hasan and Mosaddek Hossain had brief roles, and the team struggled to maintain a consistent form due to the lack of continuity at the helm.

Litton Das has been appointed as the full-time captain of Bangladesh's T20I team in 2025, marking a significant milestone in his cricketing career. Born on October 13, 1994, Litton is a right-handed batter and skilled wicket-keeper who has been a consistent performer for Bangladesh across all formats. 

While Litton has previously captained Bangladesh in one Test, seven ODIs, and four T20Is, this marks the first time he has been entrusted with a permanent leadership role in any format. His appointment comes at a crucial juncture as Bangladesh looks to build a stable and competitive squad ahead of upcoming T20 World Cup 2026.
