LAHORE (Pakistan): Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president confirmed on Monday that all-rounder Mahmudullah is still in the plans for ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, which will start from October 5 onwards this year.
The all-rounder stays in contention despite last featuring in an ODI in March. Bangladesh has played 11 ODIs since his last appearance in the 50-over format. The selectors had said that he was "rested". But he was left out of squads for subsequent series, including the Asia Cup. When he was excluded, he scored runs at a healthy average of 43.80, but his strike rate had dipped to 70.75 from a career SR of 76.17, as per ESPNCricinfo.
