Captaincy

Although Bangladesh performed well under the captaincy of Habibul Bashar in the 2007 Cricket World Cup, the Bangladesh Cricket Board decided to replace Bashar as the national team ODI captain after losing 2-0 to a touring Indian side in May 2007. The Bangladeshi cricket team, also known as "The Tigers", is a national Cricket team representing Bangladesh.

The Indian cricket team toured Bangladesh for two Test matches and three One Day Internationals in May 2007 The Indian cricket team is an international Cricket team representing India. There was a lot of criticism of the BCB for their decision from many cricket pundits, including the departing national coach Dav Whatmore, who believed the change was unnecessary. Davenell Frederick Whatmore (born 16 March 1954 Colombo, Sri Lanka) is a former international Cricketer who represented Australia. Bashar agreed to step down from the post of ODI captaincy but insisted that he wanted to remain as the national Test captain, but after losing the Test series in the same Indian tour of Bangladesh, the BCB also decided to replace him as Test captain. The Indian cricket team is an international Cricket team representing India.

The two favourites for the captain's role were Shahriar Nafees (who was vice-captain at the time) and Ashraful. Shahriar Nafees Ahmed (শাহিরয়ার নাফীস আহেমদ (born January 25, 1986 in Dhaka) is a Bangladeshi Cricketer Perhaps due to Nafees's poor form in both the World Cup and the India series the board awarded the captaincy to Ashraful - becoming the second youngest captain of an international cricket team at 22 - with Mashrafe Mortaza replacing Shahriar Nafees as vice-captain of the team. Mashrafe Bin Mortaza (মাশরািফ িবন মুর্তজা) (born 5 October, 1983 in Narail District, Jessore) is a Bangladeshi

Ashraful and Mortaza took on these roles from the start of the Sri Lanka tour in June 2007. The Bangladesh cricket team toured Sri Lanka for three Test matches and three One Day Internationals in June and July 2007 High hopes were placed on the shoulders of Ashraful by the Bangladeshi fans to motivate the team during the tour, but Bangladesh lost all three of the Test matches by large margins of an innings and 234 runs, an innings and 90 runs and an innings and 193 runs respectively, Ashraful scored a century in the second test.

Controversy

Mohammad Ashraful created some controversy recently when he slapped a fan who called him "rubbish" while he was training at an indoor stadium in Dhaka. This happened at a time when Ashraful was being heavily criticized in the media for his poor form with the bat and questionable tactics on the field as captain. The BCB fined 25 percent of his salary for the month of March 2008 for violating Code of Conduct. He later apologised for the incident. ^[13]
