There is no doubting the importance of all-rounders as they can serve multiple roles in a cricket match. They are even more important when they are found in international cricket teams. One team which enjoys the privilege of having a good all-rounder in their team would be Bangladesh. One of such all-rounders would be Mahmudullah. He is not just an all-rounder but also a leader in that team as he is currently their vice-captain. How did he rise through the ranks and become that important in the international scene? Let’s see if we can find out.

Mahmudullah can play in several positions. The 33-year-old who is rightly known by his nickname the silent killer can play as a bowler as well as hold his own when it comes to batting. One of his favorite moments in the game of cricket would be his ability or talent to take a close limited over games and finish with precision. He would also be popular in his country for his exploits at the World Cup. He is the only player from Bangladesh to have scored a hundred in the history of the Cricket World Cup. That is surely some history. His efforts in the game are crowned by the success which he has also gotten in his personal life.

The top amongst others would surely be his marriage to his wife Jannatul in 2011. Others would involve other endorsement deals which he has managed to clinch so far. One of them would be his endorsement with HeidelbergCement while being managed by the agency Imago. His endorsement with HeidelbergCement makes him the very first cricket player from his country to put pen to paper with them. Other partners who have endorsed him would also include Helio as well as Scan Cement. He is also the ambassador for USAID in his country.

When it comes to the international scene, he made his debut when he was invited to play in the ODI series which kicked off against Sri Lanka in 2007. In his debut which happened to be on the last day of the series, he turned out to be the player with the second-highest runs. After this performance, he was picked for subsequent games including the series which was held in Kenya that same year.

Another international competition he has excelled in would be the World Cup. In 2015, he broke his country’s record by taking the first century in a world cup for Bangladesh. He was further rewarded for his good performances in this world cup when he was called up for the next world cup which took place early this year.

In conclusion, there is no doubt that this player has etched his name into his country’s books. As he approached 34 years, he would surely be seeing the end of his career insight. He has achieved all he can and would hope to remain at the top for a few more years before hanging up his boots.
