Bangladesh batter, Litton Das, who was omitted from Bangladesh's Champions Trophy squad, played a slow and sluggish knock in the just concluded Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) match on Wednesday. Playing for Dhaka Capitals, he turned on the Test mode and played one of the slowest innings of the tournament.

In the contest against Chittagong Kings, Litton just couldn't get going as he looked scratchy and took all the pressure on himself as the batter found himself in deep trouble against a quality bowling attack. While his opening partner, Tanzid Hasan went strong and played at a strike-rate above 150, Litton, couldn't produce a good showing and was dismissed after a scratchy 28-ball 25.

The frustration got better off him as the batter tried slogging a Hussain Talat delivery on the leg side, but found the fielder at mid wicket as the batter was dejected and went back with a disappointing face. In the ongoing match, Dhaka made a mockery of the target set by Chittagong and won the match by x runs. Tanzid was the star with the bat as Dhaka win an important contest.

Litton dropped from Champions Trophy squad

2024 was not a good year for Litton in the white-ball format. He couldn't deliver the goods on a consistent basis and thus, was dropped from the Champions Trophy squad. Interestingly, Litton took all the blame on himself and admitted of his failures in the past.

In the ongoing BPL tournament, Litton has been average with the bat, but he has a century to his name, which came right after he was dropped from the Bangladesh side.
