Domestic career edit

He scored his only List A cricket century which was 145* against Bhahawalpur where he along with Minhajul Abedin Nannu set the highest 5th wicket stand in List A cricket history(267*)[2][3]

International career edit

Mahmud was born in Dhaka. An all-rounder in domestic cricket, his international success was mostly limited to his bowling in One Day Internationals, peaking with the defeat of Pakistan in the 1999 World Cup, when he scored 27 and took 3 for 31 off 10 overs and won the man of the match award.[4] He took 4 for 37 and 3 for 68 in the Third Test against Pakistan at Multan in 2003–04.[5]

Mahmud retired from international cricket in 2006, scoring a respectable 36 in his final match. He served as the assistant coach of the Bangladesh national cricket team and is now the manager of the team.[citation needed]

Health edit

In July 2017, he suffered a stroke and was taken to Singapore for treatment.[6]
