Ben Stokes, the talismanic all-rounder of English cricket has been named as the new captain for the English test team. Stokes replaced Joe Root, who stood down earlier this month after a series of flops.

Stokes, who was the dearest for the job, said he was "𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮" ahead of a busy season of international cricket.

Stokes also thanked the former test captain and his teammate Joe Root in his statement - "𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘑𝘰𝘦 (𝘙𝘰𝘰𝘵) 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥."

Bangladesh was to play two international friendly matches against Indonesia in January this year. Both matches were to be played in Indonesia. But the tour was postponed because the national team footballers could not confirm the two-dose vaccine.

BFF has announced a tour of Indonesia again next month. The match against the Indonesian national team will be held on June 1 in Bandung, the capital of the island of Java.

This match is actually a preparation for the upcoming Asian Cup qualifiers. The Asian Cup qualifiers will be held in Malaysia from June 6 to 14. After playing a match in Indonesia, Jamal Bhuiyan's team will fly directly to Malaysia.

In a video message sent by BFF after the meeting of the National Team Management Committee, BFF Vice President and President of the National Team Management Committee Kazi Nabil Ahmed said, "𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘰𝘯 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘦 1 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘯𝘨, 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢.

The national team will play against Indonesia after 14 years. Bangladesh last played a match against Indonesia in 2006. Bangladesh lost the match 2-0 in the Merdeka Cup held in Malaysia.
