Bangladesh have played 177 T20Is and Mahmudullah Riyad has been part of 140 of them. The veteran cricketer is now expected to announce a decision to bring the curtain down on his T20I career.
Riyad is set to make an announcement, which could even be due in today’s pre-match press conference ahead of the second T20I against India and according to a source, Riyad is set to close the gate on his T20I career.
“It’s not a break, he wants to bring an end to the T20I chapter. He is supposed to announce it in this series,” a BCB official told The Daily Star.
While the suggestions are that he may come to the press conference today, it could not be determined whether he would make that announcement.
Sources have revealed that he had already communicated his desires to leave the format before the series.
Riyad had retired from Tests in 2021.
