Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the squad for the tour of Ireland. The new face in the announced team is the left-arm pacer, Mritunjoy Chowdhury.

Due to injury, the country’s fast pacer Taskin Ahmed is out. Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam has been returned to the team. However, former national team captain Mahmudullah Riyad, left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed, and star batsman Afif Hossain have been left out. Mahmudullah did not fit in the last England and Ireland series at home. BCB said that Mahmudullah had been rested. For related reasons, the question is raised, through this message to Mahmudullah about his international career at BCB. Chief selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu was asked about this. Nannu spoke to reporters before officially announcing the party in Mirpur, Sher-e-Bangla on Sunday. But when a journalist asked him about Mahmudullah, he left without giving any answer! There was quite a lively discussion among the journalists about this incident. Is the chief selector feeling shy to give a clear message to Mahmudullah?
