Former Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud was disappointed that Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad could not bid goodbye from ODIs from the field and said patience would be key in finding replacements for the veteran duo.
Having earlier ended his Test and T20I career, Mahmudullah took his final bow from ODIs yesterday.
Bangladesh veteran Mahmudullah Riyad called time on an 18-year international career through a Facebook post yesterday. The 39-year-old, who scored 11,047 runs in international cricket, had retired from Tests in 2021 and called time on his T20I career last year in October. Here we present the highlights of his career:
Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed is in a league of his own in terms of getting a new Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) contract as the 29-year-old was the only player named in the A+ category which pays the most.
As he bids farewell to ODIs, former Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar reflected on Mushfiqur’s career, his impact on the game, and the legacy he leaves behind.
Mushfiqur started his ODI journey in 2006, wherein he quickly built his reputation as a feisty customer up for a fight irrespective of the opposition.
Early yesterday morning, Mohammedan stars lined up to give Mushfiqur Rahim a guard of honour after the veteran batter announced his ODI retirement on social media the night before.
Mushfiqur Rahim and I are pretty much the same age (officially, unofficially he may be a year older than me). I first saw him play in a Test match in 2005, the year I graduated from High School.
BCB president Faruque Ahmed expressed his admiration and appreciation for Mushfiqur’s contributions: “Mushfiqur Rahim’s work ethic, resilience, and dogged determination serve as examples that will inspire generations to come. His name will always shine brightly when we speak of Bangladesh's finest ODI moments."

The veteran wicketkeeper-batter drew the curtain on his ODI career, announcing the decision on his social media page late last night.
