Bangladesh cricketer Mahmudullah Riyad has officially retired from Test cricket. He officially announced this on the net on Wednesday. Despite retiring from Tests, he remains in ODI cricket and T20. As a result, the Bangladesh board does not have to think anew about the captain of the T20 team.

Mahmudullah abruptly announced on the third day of the Test against Zimbabwe four months ago that he was retiring. Board president Nazmul Hasan was furious at the announcement in the middle of the test. It turned out that Mahmudullah did not back down from that decision. He retired from the test.

"I am officially retiring from Test cricket," he wrote in a post on Wednesday. I was the best of the match in my debut and last Test. I have come a long way in Test cricket. Many thanks to family, teammates, coaches and the board. " He later wrote in a statement: "I have always wanted to say goodbye. In my opinion, this is the best time to move on. "

He made his Test debut in 2009 against the West Indies in Kingston. He played the best innings of his career in the last Test of his life in Harare last July. He was unbeaten on 150 runs. Bangladesh also won that match. Mahmudullah has scored 2914 runs in 50 Tests for the country. He took 43 wickets with the ball.
