Mahmudullah, 38, who gave up playing Test cricket in 2021, will play his 140th Twenty20 match for Bangladesh on Wednesday in the second match in New Delhi.
The tourists, who lost the first game by seven wickets in Gwalior, must win in the Indian capital to salvage the three-match series. Following the final match of this series, Mahmudullah informed media, “I am retiring from T20 cricket.”
I was pre-decided before coming here. I had a chat with my family and with my coach and captain,” Mahmudullah added.
“It is the right time to move on from this format for me and the team as well and concentrate on the one-day game.”
Mahmudullah has been Bangladesh’s warhorse after he made his international debut in 2007 in a One-Day International against Sri Lanka in Colombo.
He has played 50 Tests, 232 ODIs and 139 T20 matches for his country with over 10,500 runs across formats as a dependable middle-order batsman and 165 wickets with his off-spin.
