Mahmudullah Riyad: The last of Bangladesh’s ‘Big Five’ calls it a day
12 Mar 25
Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haque sensed that the Bangladesh team management was squandering Mahmudullah's potential by only using him as a finisher while the top-order struggled.
Mahmudullah walked out to bat against South Africa yesterday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Bangladesh were struggling at 58 for five and he hit a fantastic ton from there.
The experienced batter has batted at number six, seven and eight so far at this World Cup.

"He played brilliantly. He scored two tons in the 2015 World Cup which included a ton against England. He looked comfortable against pace [yesterday] and the kinds of shots he played was very dominating. It's his third ton and they have come against strong sides. Bangladesh is wasting him at seven. When the match was over, he came to bat," Misbah opined during a show with A Sports yesterday.
Mahmudullah has so far managed scores of 41, 46 and 111 at the World Cup in India.
"When someone in such good form and the team are struggling, then you need to be utilising it. Yes they had given him a finisher role but when your team requires it, why not change that," Misbah added.
