Bangladesh cricketers wished fans a happy Eid as the Muslim community of the country celebrates Eid-ul-Adha today.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam Bulbul informed that veterans Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad had expressed a desire to become coaches at the international level.
It was 2005 when an 18-year-old Mushfiqur, a surprise inclusion in Bangladesh’s squad for their maiden tour of England, debuted at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground.
Facing a must-win Test in Chattogram, Bangladesh and Mushfiqur battle to revive their struggling campaign.
He is five Tests away from becoming the first Bangladeshi cricketer to reach the 100-Test milestone — a landmark achievement. But milestones alone cannot justify selection if current form continues to deteriorate.
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.
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.

Heartfelt messages poured in for Bangladesh stalwart Mushfiqur Rahim after the 37-year-old cricketer announced his retirement from ODI cricket late on Wednesday.
Bangladesh batter Mushfiqur Rahim called time on his 19-year ODI career with an announcement on his official Facebook page on Wednesday.
Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) cricket operations chairman Nazmul Abedeen Fahim said the country’s veteran duo Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad will have to prove themselves to remain as mainstays of the national team setup.
For the first time, the Tigers will enter a major event without Shakib, Tamim, or Mashrafe. Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur’s responsibilities will begin in the dressing room, but they will not end there.
