No Bangladeshi player had scored a century in a World Cup until Mahmudullah Riyad broke the barrier in 2015 with a historic hundred against England in Cardiff. His innings not only made history but also helped Bangladesh secure a famous victory. Former captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza reminisced about that iconic moment while reflecting on Mahmudullah’s retirement.
On Wednesday, Mahmudullah announced his retirement through a heartfelt Facebook post. In response, Mashrafe shared a message wishing him the best for the future. He praised Mahmudullah’s ability to shine on the big stage, saying, “The way you delivered your best in crucial moments will inspire generations to come.”
