Mahmudullah our auto choice for T20 World Cup: Jalal Younis
Mahmudullah Riyad last played an international T20 match in 2022. After that, he was dropped from the T20 team. However, this year's T20 World Cup in front of this star cricketer in the discussion again. BCB Cricket Operations Chairman Jalal Yunus said that Mahmudullah will play in T20 World Cup.
Mahmudullah Riyad responded to a lot of criticism by performing brilliantly in the ODI World Cup in India. He has maintained that consistency in the ongoing BPL as well. He is performing brilliantly as a finisher for Fortune Barisal.
Speaking to the media in Mirpur on Wednesday (January 31), BCB Cricket Operations Chairman Jalal Yunus said, "What can I say? Brilliant performance by Riyad. One thing you will notice, where his strike rate was in T20 World Cup, that was fantastic. At that strike rate, he automatically comes to T20. And now it proves. Wherever he is playing, automatic choice. At this moment, the question does not arise whether he will get a chance or not. His doing well, his performing well. Now he has become a performer. I think automatically he comes into the side. There is no room for second thoughts.
The 37-year-old Mahmudullah has scored 104 runs unbeaten in two of the five matches of the current BPL, with a strike rate of 165.07. Jalal Yunus said, "Age is not a factor." How much fit you are physically that is very important. Anderson is still bowling at the age of 41, in Tests. If a player keeps himself fit, he can continue. If he performs then there is no problem to keep him in the team. His performing. He is proactive in bowling, fielding. Then why not. Age is not a big factor here.
