Moreover, Mashrafe also advised his former comrade to ask help from the senior cricketers and listen to them before making a decision.

You will be unhappy if you had to do what other people told you. I have always believed in this. I won’t tell you how to do your captaincy, but you should do what your heart desires. You will have senior cricketers like Shakib, Mushfiq, and Riyad around you, but if you listen to your gut feeling, you will be more successful.

As long as I am confident in your ability, it doesn’t matter what others are saying. You have match-winners in Soumya, Liton, and Mustafiz, so if something is being said about them, you have to handle it.

In addition, Tamim Iqbal has been one of the biggest foundations in Bangladesh cricket for a long period. However, his captaincy skills are not proved yet. He already led the team in one Test and three ODIs. But, he failed miserably. So, the doubt remains on him. Perhaps, Mashrafe’s decision could help him to grow mature as a captain.
