He will also be named the next one-day captain within a month.

The BCB president said a decision had been made that this would be the last series of captain Mashrafe. There is no rush for him. The pricey players say without planning, this is his last series. If Mashrafe makes such a decision, he will be sent off. The Zimbabwe series will be decided after the new one-day captain.
