Its unfair for other captains to be in the list with the guy who is in the list after playing just 28 matches.
For making such lists at least 50 should be mandatory.

Congratulations

Next time we play a minnow we should declare Mohammad Irfan the captain for one game. After the win he can forget captaining again and he will have a 100% win record. Best captain in the world

Why not, record is a record, he deserves it as much as anyone else. But you also need to realize, he's a young captain with few matches under his belt. As he plays more and more, pressure to keep his ranking will be enormous.
This record will change as he plays more matches.

Mortaza n his team deserves it, Bangladesh was nowhere in sight just a couple of years ago and now everyone has to take them serious.

Bangladesh has won series after series at home. They are yet to prove themselves outside the subcontinent.
But that's how you start, first you become strong enough to win at home and then you starts performing better in abroad matches. That's how India did it too.

Yes records won't mater what matters how you contribute as far as I know mortaza is not shoaib alter neither WAQAR so he won those games not with his performance alone

 

[Suff Shikan]

Wrong criteria i think, so they are saying Mashrafe Mortaza is better than the Legends and still he is not a legend
