He played for a long time in the national team. Mahmudullah Riyad also witnessed many memorable victories. But now he is old, the batting edge has decreased, the fielding condition is also bad. He was in the team against England after the return of Chandika Hathurusingha as head coach.
But then he was not in the ODI series against Ireland at home, nor in the next series against the Irish. In this situation, many speculations have been made about whether Mahmudullah Riyad will be present in the ODI World Cup in October. A few days ago BCB director Khaled Mahmud Sujan said that he does not see Riyad in the World Cup team.
Bangladesh will play a three-match ODI series in Chelmsford, England next month. Tamim Iqbal did a three-day camp in Sylhet for the preparation of this series. Head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe talked about the presence of Mahmudullah Riyad in the World Cup on the last day on Saturday. He said, 'What I have said before is the same. They are all listed. Everyone will get a chance to come and play before the World Cup. We still haven't changed that mindset. '
The World Cup is less than six months away. But the schedule has not been officially released yet, the venue has not been announced. Is there a problem with the plan?
In response to such questions, Hathurusinghe said, "It is not just us. Affecting everyone involved with the World Cup. I think India will announce soon. If announced quickly, it will help us to have a clear idea. '
