Mahmudullah\u2019s decision was not entirely unexpected. Earlier, he had informed the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) that he would not seek a central contract beyond February 2025.

One of Bangladesh\u2019s most dependable middle-order batters, Mahmudullah is the only cricketer from the country to have scored three centuries in ODI World Cups. Two of those came during the 2015 edition\u2014against England and New Zealand\u2014where he played a crucial role in Bangladesh\u2019s historic run to the quarterfinals. His third ton came in the 2023 edition, further solidifying his legacy on the biggest stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
