Mahmudullah decides to exclude himself from the central contract

Veteran cricketer Mahmudullah has opted out of the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) central contract. According to BCB sources, he requested not to be included in the contract for any format.  

Earlier, BCB had proposed a draft list of 22 players for the central contract, which was set to be approved in the latest meeting. Mahmudullah, 39, was initially placed in the 'B' category.  

However, with his withdrawal, BCB will finalize and announce the central contract list without him. As a result, his central contract officially ended in February, and he will no longer be a contracted player from March onward.
