Bangladesh announce 15-member squad for T20 World Cup 2022, Mahmudullah dropped

Former T20I skipper Mahmudullah Riyad hasn't been included in Bangladesh's 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup to be played later this year in Australia.

Mahmudullah Riyad is the major omission as Bangladesh named their 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup to be played in Australia later this year in October-November.

Mahmudullah hasn’t been in the greatest of form and team director, Khaled Mhamud Sujon, said that the all-rounder hasn’t performed to expectations in the last few months.

Earlier this year, the Mymensingh-born Mahmudullah was also removed as the skipper of the Bangladesh T20I team.

Sabbir Rahman, who played only one match in the Asia Cup after making his comeback in three years, retained his spot in the team.

The Tigers have also been boosted after Nurul Hasan Sohan and Liton Das claimed their spot back after recovering from their respective injuries.

All-rounder Mahedi Hasan played in the Asia Cup, but failed to make the Asia Cup squad. He has been included in the standby players along with left-hander Soumya Sarkar, leg-spinner Rishad Hossain and left-armer Shoriful Islam.
