Rangpur Riders today confirmed that Liton Das will lead the side for the remainder of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) this season. Liton replaces Nurul Hasan Sohan as captain after the latter struggled with form, scoring just 30 runs in six innings across eight matches in this year's BPL. Rangpur acquired Liton, the Bangladesh national team's T20 captain, at the players' draft for Tk 70 lakh. Liton himself has endured a modest campaign, scoring 162 runs in eight matches at a strike rate of 135. "I don't think it will be much of a challenge, because right now if we win one match, we will qualify for the playoffs," Liton said today.
