Veteran Bangladesh all-rounder Mahmudullah has announced his decision to retire from international cricket. He took to social media to announce the decision. The 39-year-old had already retired from Tests in 2021 and T20Is in 2024 and after the Champions Trophy, he opted out of ODI cricket as well. 

“I have decided to retire from international cricket,” Mahmudllah wrote on Facebook.

“And finally thanks to my wife and kids who have been my support system through thick

Notably, the cricketer has scored 11047 runs in 430 international matches. With the ball, the Mymensingh-born has clinched 166 wickets. He has nine centuries to his name in international cricket and has been one of Bangladesh’s biggest match-winners over the last few years.
