Litton Das Sends Brutal Response To BCB Selectors After Champions Trophy Snub (Source: X)
Veteran batter Litton Das was not picked in the Bangladesh squad for the ICC Champions Trophy. Das was not the only senior player who failed to make a cut to the squad, but all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was also snubbed from the squad. Shakib's omission was understandable because he was barred from bowling in international cricket, but Das, given the experience he carries, leaving him out of the squad was certainly a bold call. However, the move was justified given that the senior batter was going through a lean run and did not cross the 50-run mark in the previous 13 ODIs.
Litton Das Makes A Massive Statement After Champions Trophy Snub
A few hours after being left out of the Bangladesh squad for the ICC Champions Trophy, Litton Das made a massive statement that might have left the Bangladesh Cricket Board wondering if they made the right call to drop Litton Das. Playing for Dhaka Capitals, Litton Das smashed a brutal century in just 44 balls. Das remained unbeaten on 125 in 55 balls and helped the Capitals reach a mammoth total of 254-1 . Along with Das, Tanzid Hasan also scored a hundred as the pair added a whopping 241 runs for the opening wicket.
