With one fifty, Mahmudullah scored 201 runs throughout seven innings. He was able to take three wickets when he had the ball. Mahmudullah, who was playing for the Minister Group Dhaka in the Bangladesh Premier League in 2021-22, amassed 255 runs in eight innings and made one half-century during that competition. His highest wicket was a one-five, and he also got three wickets. Quetta Gladiators have signed Mahmudullah to a contract for the 2017 Pakistan Super League season. It took him three innings to score 37 runs. He was successful in taking seven wickets with the ball, with his best statistic being 3/21.
While playing in the Pakistan Super League in 2018, Mahmudullah scored 34 runs throughout two innings. Additionally, he got one wicket. During Bangladesh’s visit to Sri Lanka in July 2007, Mahmudullah was considered for selection to the One-Day International (ODI) team for the three-match series against Sri Lanka. He made his debut during the visit in the third one-day international, when he not only got two wickets but also finished as Bangladesh’second-highestst scorer with 36 runs. Sri Lanka won the match by a score of 39 runs. In his first test match, which took place on July 9, 2009, Mahmudullah played against the West Indies.
With an eight-wicket haul, including a five-wicket haul in the second innings, he achieved the greatest test bowling numbers in a match by a Bangladeshi on his debut. His performance with the bat was not very good, but he came out with the best test bowling stats. This was a significant factor in Bangladesh’s victory in their second test match, which was also their first away match. Even though Mahmudullah hit a century while batting at number eight in a test match against New Zealand, the selection committee decided against promoting him up the order because of what they believed to be a weakness against fast bowling. This was the case even though the number four post was vacant and had no regular tenant.
He was one of the fifteen players that Bangladesh selected to represent the country in the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011. Following the dismissal of the former captain and deputy, Mahmudullah was appointed to the position of vice-captain of Bangladesh on September 20, 2011. He succeeded Tamim Iqbal in this role with immediate effect. As a result of a viral virus, Mahmudullah was unable to attend any of the West Indies’ matches during their visit in October. During November, he was able to heal in time to rejoin the team and play three one-day internationals against Pakistan.

Within the span of only one match, Mahmudullah was able to score 56 runs and bowl, resulting in three wickets from seven deliveries. When he batted against England on March 9, 2015, he made history by being the first Bangladeshi batsman in World Cup history to achieve a century. This occurred during the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. After the encounter, Bangladesh emerged victorious and advanced to the quarterfinals of the competition. In the following match, which took place on March 13th, he hit yet another century at the World Cup. This time, he did so against New Zealand, who ultimately prevailed by three wickets.
During the last match of the Bangladesh Tri-series against Sri Lanka in January 2018, permanent Test captain Shakib sustained an injury to his left little finger. As a consequence, he had bruising and swelling, and he was unable to participate in the Test series against Sri Lanka. Mahmudullah was awarded the position of captain of the Test squad as a result of this. On January 31, 2018, he became the ninth player in Bangladesh’s history to captain the team in a test match. In addition, Shakib Al Hasan was not allowed to participate in the first Twenty20 International, and Mahmudullah was selected to lead the team in his stead.
