Panchpandav’s career in T20 cricket stopped with the retirement of Mahmudullah Riyad. The batsman who played the most Twenty20 games for Bangladesh announced his retirement from Delhi as the last of the five Pandavas.
Mashrafe bin Mortaza was the first to stop, followed by Tamim Iqbal-Mushfiqur Rahim. Shakib Al Hasan announced that he will play the last T20 in the 24th World Cup before the Kanpur Test on the tour of India. This time during the T20 series, Mahmudullah pulled the pubic hair.
At once the word of achievement arose. The main question is about the absence of trophies during the time of these five best cricketers in the history of Bangladesh. Mahmudullah did not want to measure the achievement and the trophy.
‘No trophy is a bad feeling. But I do not agree to accept that there is no achievement. If winning trophies was the bench mark then many legends of the world would not have been honored. I hear from many people and even from journalists that neither we nor Panchpandava won the title.’
Bangladesh has played 177 T20 matches so far. The win came in 68 matches. Loss in 105 matches. Mahmudullah Riad maximum 139. Five people have played 29 matches together. Won in 11. First of all, Mashrafe stopped in 2017. After that till now in 7 years the remaining four went to retirement.
Bangladesh’s highest achievement in T20 is the final match of the Asia Cup. Apart from this, the maximum has been able to reach the Super Eight in the World Cup. A win at home against Australia-New Zealand was questionable due to wickets.
According to Mahmudullah, Bangladesh’s problem was consistency, ‘I wouldn’t say we haven’t improved. We have also achieved great things in T20 cricket, whether present or in the past. Maybe we had a problem with consistency. If you feel too anxious when you go to play T20, you will not be able to perform. If we can get through that as a team, then we can do well.’
‘Look, when I entered the dressing room in 2007, the condition of Bangladesh cricket was not like this time. And this is only Panchapandavana, everyone has a contribution. Mahmudullah added, “Success-failure should never be calculated based on the title.”
Mahmudullah led Bangladesh to a T20 World Cup. When Shakib Al Hasan was banned in 2019, the burden of responsibility came on his shoulders. He led the 2021 T20 World Cup. The World Cup started with a loss against Scotland. Later went to Super Twelve but could not win a single match there. He lost leadership before the 2022 Asia Cup and was dropped from the team.
