Najmul Hossain Shanto continued his magnificent form as captain in the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. After scoring 148 runs in the first innings, Shanto scored an unbeaten 56 in the second innings as the series opener marched towards a draw in Galle, a rarity these days. The Galle track, unusually, didn't break as much as it was expected and the batters enjoyed the flatness of the surface even on the fourth day, with just 23 wickets falling. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/sl-vs-ban-najmul-hossain-shanto-breaks-test-record-for-a-bangladesh-captain-in-galle-run-fest-2025-06-20-995557
