Rating the Bangladesh Test captains so far

#7 Khaled Mahmud

All-rounder Khaled Mahmud became Bangladesh’s third captain and succeeded Kahled Mashud to the hot seat. However, his record was identical to Mashud’s save for the number of Tests. Mahmud recorded a 100% loss rate as well but he captained in 9 Tests.

That said, Mahmud’s captaincy saw Bangladesh push a major Test playing nation as far as possible when Pakistan escaped with a one wicket win in Multan back in 2003 and needless to say, his stint as captain might have been wholly different had they been able to take that final wicket.

Mahmud himself took 7 wickets in that Test and hence it can be said that his record is not a true reflection of his stint as Bangladesh Test captain. It could have been different.
