DHAKA (Reuters) - An out-of-form Mominul Haque has stepped down as Bangladesh test captain in the wake of their home series loss against Sri Lanka, according to media reports.

The 30-year-old, who has led the side since October 2019, has looked under pressure and managed only 162 runs from six matches this year, with just one half-century.
