"A big thank you to my parents, my in laws specially my father in law & most importantly my brother Emdad Ullah who has been there for me constantly since my childhood as my coach and mentor.

"And finally thanks to my wife & kids who have been my support system through thick and thin.

"Not everything comes to an end in a perfect way but you say yes and move forward. Best wishes to my team and Bangladesh cricket," he added.

Mahmud Ullah finishes with the fourth-most appearances and runs in ODIs for Bangladesh after Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal.

Among his most memorable exploits for Bangladesh remains a Men's Cricket World Cup century against England in the 2015 edition of the tournament that inspired a famous win.
