<p>Veteran Bangladesh batter <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/icc-world-cup-2023-didnt-set-my-mind-to-scoring-a-ton-ban-mahmudullah-23316318" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Mahmudullah</a></strong> on Wednesday announced his retirement from international cricket.</p>
<p>"I have decided to retire from international cricket," the 39-year-old, who retired from Tests in 2021 and T20Is in 2024, wrote in a social media post.</p>
<p>Mahmudullah ends as Bangladesh's fourth-highest ODI run-getter with 5689 runs at 36.46, including four centuries -- all in ICC tournaments.</p>
<p>He scored back-to-back centuries in the 2015 World Cup, another in the 2017 Champions Trophy against New Zealand, and a fourth in the 2023 ODI World Cup against South Africa.</p>
<p>"I would like to thank all of my teammates, coaches &amp; specially my fans who have always supported me," added his Facebook post.</p>
<p>"A big thank you to my parents, my in laws specially my father in law &amp; most importantly my brother Emdad Ullah who has been there for me constantly since my childhood as my coach &amp; mentor," signed off Mahmudullah, who played 239 ODIs, 50 Tests and 141 T20Is in his 17-year career.</p>
<p>"And finally thanks to my wife &amp; kids who have been my support system through thick &amp; thin. I know Raeid will miss me in red &amp; green jersey. Not everything comes to an end in a perfect way but you say yes &amp; move forward. Best wishes to my team &amp; Bangladesh cricket," he signed off.</p>
<p>Making his ODI debut in 2007, Mahmudullah initially played as a lower-order all-rounder. A turning point came in the 2011 World Cup when he guided Bangladesh to a famous win over England.</p>
<p>He later became a key middle-order batter, producing memorable knocks, including his historic 223-run stand with Shakib Al Hasan against New Zealand in 2017 Champions Trophy.</p>
<p>Mahmudullah's retirement marks the end of Bangladesh's golden generation, which included Tamim Iqbal, Shakib-Al-Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Mashrafe Mortaza. He is Bangladesh's only batter to score three ODI World Cup centuries.&nbsp;</p>
