As of now, Mushfiq is doing fine.

Thank you. Contrary to perception, Shakib was no revolutionary captain. He may have been sharper on the field (although
actual evidence suggests otherwise - see below), his behind the scenes management of the team was disastrous. If he can sort that out then for sure he'll be captain again but as of now the team is in no such crisis that a change of leader is required. On top of that, Shakib's batting stats have soared since he lost the captaincy.

5 out of 20 during Shakib's tenure; Mushy is yet to get on the list despite his "brain-dead" captaincy. In fact Mushy is yet to concede a 300+ score to the opposition.
