Bangladesh have reinstated Mashrafe Bin Mortaza as captain for the upcoming home series against Zimbabwe in October.

 

Shakib-al-Hasan, who led Bangladesh to their first-ever overseas Test series win in West Indies, will be the vice-captain.

 

Shakib was the stand-in captain for Bangladesh after Mortaza sustained a knee injury.

 

This decision to appoint Mortaza as captain was taken at a meeting of the board of directors.

 

Reports say the board of directors have also agreed to extend the tenure of coach Jamie Siddons until the end of the ICC World Cup in 2011.
