A former MCC Young Cricketer like Sir Ian Botham, Mark Waugh and Ross Taylor, Mahmudullah became the first Bangladeshi centurion at a World Cup when he made 103 in his country’s 15-run victory over England in 2015.

After making his first-class debut at 19 and scoring a half-century, Mahmudullah had a promising start to his international career when he took two wickets and scored a cameo 36 against Sri Lanka in a losing effort at Colombo. 

Nearly 12 years on from that game and the 33-year-old has amassed over 7,000 runs and well over 100 wickets across almost 300 games for Bangladesh and remains a key performer in all formats.
