Why/How did former captain's get sacked?

Can someone please tell me the reason behind former captains like Shakib, Mashrafe, Ashraful get sacked from captaincy? did all of them have fair amount of time to prove their captaincy potentials? thanks

We lost matches and as a result they got sacked. What more do you want to know?

The exact reason like after which series did they get sacked is it due to individual captain's performance or as a whole team?

Bit of both i guess.

From memory i think Ashraful got sacked because of poor team performance and because the team performed poorly in the T20 World Cup. Shakib got sacked because of the poor Zim series and i think Mash lost captaincy due to injury??

@King13, unfortunately Bangladesh has never had very good captains. Most of them were appointed because they had a permanent place in the side. None of them were good enough strategists, or had the attitude to take Bangladesh to a new level. Think Arjuna Ranatunga for Sri Lanka, Stephen Fleming for New Zealand. These guys were astute thinkers who could change the course of the game with their decision making or their ability to motivate and get the best out of the players.

In my opinion Shakib and Khaled Mahmud were probably the two best captains, but still not good enough to raise the performance of the team consistently.

This is really sth BCB needs to think about. Strategy, tactics, leadership-these are things our players need to learn. You just dont have these attributes naturally. Either the training has to be provided to guys like Mushfiq or we need to recruit a more tactician type of coach. Hard to imagine Sri Lanka had 3 captains in IPL. Shows you the difference between BD and SL. Mathews may have just started captaining the team, but his leadership skills and thinking are a notch above ours. Even Brendan Taylor, how he got Mahmudullah out-thats tactics. Sadly our boys cant think like that.

BT may be a good captain but this is not a good example. Riyad, the moment stepped in to the field (2nd innings) he was a walking wicket. Trying to slog his way out. Why, I do not know? His recent performance says he need to sit out and sort out his problems in this format.

As for captain issue here:
Habibul Bashar and Ash got out because of non-performance of their own. Mash to injury. Shakib to ego.

Team results has never been good. Very recently the team started to perform well (by our standards). I am speechless with the batting they displayed in Harare. The second match will be there as well. So am not sure if the result will be any thing else.
