Five Musketeers
According to BCB decision, from now on ... Ashraful must consult with Mashrafe, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Roqibul Hasan before making any crucial on-field or off-field decision.
These 5 cricketers will form the core (senior?) management group of Bangladesh team.
It somehow discredits Ashraful's position as the captain of the team, but on a positive note we will probably see more rational decisions in the future. It might also help to build future leadership.
Ashraful has also lost the authority to make independent decisions on toss. he must consult with coach, manager and computer analyst before the toss.
Ash probably earned it, but IMO, it's too harsh on a captain.
BCB have found an interesting and debatable way to solve the captaincy riddle.
