Dropped From Bangladesh Champions Trophy Squad, Litton Das Smashes Century in Record-Breaking Night in BPL

Litton Das on Sunday (January 12) responded to the Champions Trophy snub with a 44-ball century in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) as Dhaka Capitals registered a comprehensive 149-run victory over Durbar Rajshahi in a record-breaking outing.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) selection panel omitted the wicketkeeper-batter from Bangaldesh Champions Trophy 2025 squad due to poor form, but Litton delivered a message to the selectors the same evening when he scored his first BPL century and shared a mammoth stand with fellow centurion Tanzid Hasan.

Litton (125* off 55 balls) and Tanzid (108 off 64 balls) shared the highest stand in BPL history with a partnership of 241 runs for the opening wicket, and also the second-highest in T20 cricket.
