Mahmudullah returns as Bangladesh announce white-ball squads for home series against Sri Lanka, no Shakib
[ad_1]
Veteran allrounder Mahmudullah has finally made his return to Bangladesh’s T20I squad after a period of 15 months as outgoing chief selector Minhajul Abedin selected the white-ball squads for the upcoming home series against Sri Lanka.
While Mahmudullah’s return is set to benefit the Bangla Tigers, they are going to miss their star allrounder Shakib Al Hasan who is battling a retinal condition. However, Shakib is currently playing in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) for Rangpur Riders and scored a quickfire half-century (61 off 39 balls) against Khulna Tigers on February 13.
Minhajul, whose eight-year tenure is drawing to a close on February 28, has also made the bold call to snub Mehidy Hasan Miraz from the T20I squad. Mehidy is one of the hosts of changes made by Minhajul.
Seamer Hasan Mahmud has been left out of the ODI and the T20I squad alongside Afif Hossain.
