Please tell that he left this post after the home series against India, but now once again he has been given a big responsibility on this post.
What did Mahmood say about team selection
Khalid Mahmood says he is not sure whether he will be included in the team selection or not, although he is adamant on being included in the selection panel of the Bangladesh cricket team for the World Cup 2023.
