Bangladesh Veteran Mahmudullah To Retire From T20 Cricket Post India Series
Najmul Hossain Shanto: Mahmudullah, the veteran Bangladeshi cricketer, has announced his retirement from T20 internationals following the conclusion of the ongoing bilateral series against India. The 38-year-old made this decision public during a press conference ahead of the second T20I in Delhi, revealing that he had informed the Bangladesh cricket authorities beforehand.
Although stepping away from T20Is, Mahmudullah intends to continue his career in one-day internationals, recognizing the need to focus on preparations for the upcoming World Cup.
"I am retiring from T20I cricket after the last game of this series. I was pre-decided before coming here. I had a chat with my family. I spoke to the coach [Chandika Hathurusinghe], captain [Najmul Hossain Shanto], chief selector [Gazi Ashraf Hossain] and the board president [Faruque Ahmed] as well. I think it is the right time to move on from this format for me and the team. Especially with the World Cup coming up in less than two years. I will concentrate on the one-day game,” said Mahmuddulah in the press conference.
