Mahmudullah Riyad is the major omission as Bangladesh named their 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup to be played in Australia later this year in October-November.
Mahmudullah hasn’t been in the greatest of form and team director, Khaled Mhamud Sujon, said that the all-rounder hasn’t performed to expectations in the last few months.
Earlier this year, the Mymensingh-born Mahmudullah was also removed as the skipper of
the Bangladesh T20I team.
