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."
Shanto and Mushfiqur’s unbroken 165-run partnership saw Bangladesh coast to victory against Sri Lanka.
Fortune Barishal’s Mushfiqur Rahim on Wednesday quipped about his side being labelled as the ‘team of elderlies’ after the Tamim Iqbal-led side, also including veteran Mahmudullah Riyad, cemented their spot in the final of the 10th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League.
Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim said that it would be difficult for players to earn a steady living if not for the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and claimed the quality of the tournament to be “very high”.
Bangladesh's star batter Mushfiqur Rahim has hinted that he was forced to retire from T20I format. The 36-year-old veteran had retired from T20Is on September 4, 2022 following the Asia Cup in UAE, just ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia that year.
Bangladesh stalwart Mushfiqur Rahim was excited to have reached the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) final with Fortune Barishal, a side that had been given the tag of the 'team of elderlies' prior to the tournament.
Fortune Barishal batter Mushfiqur Rahim was baffled at the instances when his skipper Tamim Iqbal and Rangpur Riders' star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan got booed by their respective fans during several matches in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League.
Mushfiqur Rahim becomes the second batter to pass the landmark score of three thousand runs in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) as the wicketkeeper-batter achieved the milestone while playing for Fortune Barishal in their game against Comilla Victorians at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday.
Bangladesh cricket Mushfiqur Rahim has served a legal notice to Ekattor TV in relation to fixing claims made in a report after Mushfiqur was given out for ‘obstructing the field’ during the ongoing second Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand.
Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahim became only the second batsman in Test history to be dismissed for obstructing the field in the second match against New Zealand in Dhaka on Wednesday.
