Khaled Mahmud Sujon, a director of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) believes that the senior players should have a clear plan about their retirement in order to make way for the young players.
According to him, unfortunately this culture is yet to be grown in this country as the number of cricketers in Bangladesh who retire from the field is a handful.
Mahmud is one of the few who could retire from the ground. Citing the example of his own career, the former captain said the senior cricketers have to understand when the time is over.
His comment came in the wake of the incident of senior cricketer Mahmudullah Riyad who was recently dropped from the Asia Cup team. The 37-year old cricket had hardly any chance to return to the national team as the team management has enough options at their disposal to replace Mahmudullah.
LONDON: Former England fast bowler Steven Finn retired on Monday after the three-time Ashes winner accepted "defeat" in his battle against a host of injury problems. Finn took 125 wickets in 36 Test appearances for England at an average of 30.4 between 2010 and 2016. The 34-year-old also played in 69 one-day internationals and 21 Twenty20 internationals for England. Hampered by various injuries, Finn slipped out of the England squad and has not played red-ball cricket since July 2022. "I have been fighting a battle with my body for the last 12 months and have admitted defeat to it," Finn said.
