Bangladesh appoint versatile all-rounder as ODI captain
The off-spinning all-rounder has previously captained Bangladesh in four ODIs in Shanto's absence.
With 1617 runs and 110 wickets in 105 ODIs, Miraz is currently ranked No. 4 among ODI all-rounders in the ICC rankings.
He is also part of an exclusive group of Bangladeshi cricketers, alongside Mohammad Rafique, Mashrafe Mortaza and Shakib Al Hasan, to have completed the 1000 runs and 100 wickets double in the format.
Earlier, the all-rounder was named as the vice-captain in Bangaldesh's Test squad for their first assignment of the next World Test Championship cycle next month in Sri Lanka.

Australia hopefuls eye Ashes auditions on India A tour
Australia chair of selectors George Bailey feels he is dealing with the situation well and hopes the Australia A series will help him regain his touch. "After his return (from the West Indies), he has reflected on that (his performances), put a few things into his training and has launched himself back into getting ready for India," Bailey said. The Aussie captain Pat Cummins, however, continues to back Konstas, who Australia would hope can solve their top order hitch before the big Ashes series, which will also be Australia's first home series in the new World Test Championship cycle. Talking about the squad A selections, Bailey said that the team has been picked with a lens on the upcoming two to five years. "We have got a Test tour to India in 2027 and we hope repeated experiences in these conditions will assist players in developing an effective method and understanding of their game for future sub-continent tours," Bailey added. "We are trying to strike that balance and trying to be upfront with the lot of players around that, depending on when and where they fit in the schedule, sometimes the design around them is slightly different."

West Indies eye World Cup push from Pakistan ODI series
West Indies have unveiled a 15-member squad for the ODI series against Pakistan for the three-match tournament set to be played at Trinidad. Led by Shai Hope, the squad featuring multiple young faces that the Windies have relied on in recent times, has been bolstered by the return of dynamic all-rounder Romario Shepherd. Shepherd makes his comeback to the West Indies ODI side since the series against Bangladesh last year. West Indies squad: Shai Hope (c), Jewel Andrew, Jediah Blades, Keacy Carty, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Justin Greaves, Amir Jangoo, Shamar Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Gudakesh Motie, Sherfane Rutherford, Jayden Seales, Romario Shepherd Meanwhile, 18-year-old wicket-keeper-batter Jewel Andrew, who made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka last year, has kept his place from the team that featured in the ODI series in England earlier this summer. Left-arm pacer Jediah Blades, who earned his first cap against Bangladesh in 2024, earns a recall. Amir Jangoo, who scored a memorable ton on his ODI debut against the Tigers last year, also retains his spot, having featured against Ireland back in May. West Indies are coming into the series on the back of a 2-1 T20I series loss at home. Head coach Daren Sammy believes the series presents an opportunity to strengthen their case for a spot at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2027. 'Pakistan presents a different test and challenge as we continue our push for automatic qualification for the 2027 World Cup,' Sammy said. 'While qualifying is our immediate goal, maintaining a winning mentality and team cohesion is essential for long-term success. 'The upcoming matches against teams like Pakistan, who are ranked higher, provide crucial opportunities to earn valuable ranking points to improve our standing ahead of the World Cup.' West Indies are currently ranked 10th in the ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings, while Pakistan sit on the fourth spot, below India, New Zealand and Australia.
