ODI World Cup 2023: Team-wise players who might not get a national call-up after the tournament

3. Mahmudullah – Bangladesh

Another player who was not in the original squad for the ICC World Cup 2023 was Mahmudullah of Bangladesh. It was a surprise that Bangladesh left out their best middle-order batter and their only World Cup century hitter out of the squad. But he was asked to join the squad as an injury replacement later on.

He made a huge impact with 328 runs in 8 matches with one century and one fifty. Many thought that Mahmudullah should’ve been a first-choice pick to begin with. However, at 37 years of age and with a poor fitness record, the all-rounder might have played his final ODI for Bangladesh.
