Bangladesh recall Mahmudullah

The development followed seasoned campaigner Shakib Al Hasan’s decision to take a break from Tests for a while. “I respect his decision but of course it is very hard to replace him,” Chief selector Minhajul Abedin was quoted as saying by ESPNFC. “We have to take into account his mental state because as a player I understand what he may be going through physically and mentally.”

Mahmudullah last played a Test in Sri Lanka in March earlier this year. IANS
