It is always a bold call when a youngster gets the job as a captain. Of course, it depends on a lot of factors but it is usually the experienced man who becomes the captain of the side. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three youngest captains in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
3) Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh) – 25 Years
One of the best batters for Bangladesh at the moment, Shanto is also the captain of the side. He has a team with experienced cricketers like Shakib Al Hasan.
Bangladesh has been in poor form for a while now. There have been a lot of the off-field issues, as well. Shanto will be looking to make his team do well despite these issues.
2) Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) – 25 Years
Rashid Khan stands No.2 on this list of the youngest captains in the 2024 T20 World Cup. It is a shock that Rashid is still 25 years old. Behind him, he has years of experience as a cricketer. With Afghanistan, as well, it has been close to half a decade since his introduction.
One of the best spinners in the format, Rashid will aim to reach the Top 4 this time around. The team definitely has the balance to make that happen.
1) Rohit Paudel (Nepal) – 21 Years
It was way back in 2019 that Rohit made his debut for his country. Since then, he has been a very important part of his side in the batting department/
Having already played close to 60 ODIs and 50 T20Is, Rohit has sufficient experience with him. Nepal is a growing team and is a nation that wants to make a mark at the highest level. They have the talent to make it big. Under Rohit, the team’s future looks bright.
