Khaled Mahmud Sujon has been out of the Bangladesh national team since India's World Cup debacle as the former captain of Bangladesh, who served as the team director, complained that he did not get the respect he deserved in the World Cup. Sujon even remarked that he does not want to return to any type of role in the Bangladesh national team.

“I am not interested in any responsibility of the Bangladesh national team. What I did in the last World Cup, I think it doesn't go with my cricket career. Maybe I am not such a big coach, I don't know much about cricket. Still I think I have respect, I didn't get that respect in the last World Cup. So I don't want to do this anymore.' Mahmud said in Mirpur today.

“I want to live my life. I work in Abahani, BPL, Cricket Academy in Rajshahi. I am very happy with that. If I have to work for the improvement of country’s cricket, I will definitely do it. But national team assignments may not be for me, as I said I may not deserve it,” he added.

Sujon even requested Bangladesh Cricket Board President Nazmul Hassan Papon not to include him in the national team again, “Papan Bhai is my captain. When he tells me to field at fine leg I will. But I think he won't ask me to field at fine leg anymore. I think I am not the solution anymore. I respect Papon bhai as before. But I request Papon Bhai not to ask me to do any more work in this matter.”
