The Dhaka Times Desk Mahmudullah, the somewhat introverted Bangladesh co-captain, was interviewed by ESPN Cricinfo. The interview has been translated for the readers of Dhaka Times:
Meeting a star for the first time
When I was in seventh standard, former Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmood Sujan Bhai came to play for Siraj Memorial Club in Mymensingh. I managed to get an autograph from him, but couldn't say a word.
International cricket game for the first time
I made my debut at the Premadasa ground in 2007 against Sri Lanka. Actually I don't remember anything about that day, I was very nervous, you can say I was stunned. We bowled first, and as the game started a bit late, the shock was not going away. I took 2 wickets for 28 runs, one of which was caught by Tamim standing near the boundary at midwicket. Then dropped to number seven and scored 36 runs off 54 balls. I am very grateful to my brother Emdadullah who taught me a lot. I can't forget his contribution so far behind me.
First any memorable sledge or taunt
I don't usually do that on the field but I remember I verbally abused Brendan Taylor on the ground in Dhaka. I knew he didn't score much in that day's game but when I came to bat he was talking too much so I told him to keep quiet. Later I saw the video on YouTube but I really don't know if this video is one of the popular cricket videos on YouTube.
First International Century
In 2010 Against New Zealand It was my first international century in a Test match. I played very positively that day and was ready for a century to say the least! I played every ball completely like myself. I still remember that innings, try to get energized from there.
Dance for the first time after the victory celebration!
Last year Windies in Dhaka field Lost in the fifth match we danced However, I told my teammates in the dressing room before the game that if we win, we will definitely celebrate the victory with the Gangnam Dance. Everyone took it seriously, but we hadn't practiced the dance before, or it was in the news! But what made the ending so sweet was the achievement.
