Mushfiqur Rahim is not playing for Bangladesh in T20 World cup 2022 because he has already taken retirement from T20 internationals. He announced his decision two days after Bangladesh was crashed out of Asia Cup 2022. He will continue to play in ODI, Test and league matches. The Tigers are going to miss the experience of their middle-order batsman Mushfiqur Rahim in the upcoming T20 WC.

Mushfiqur was unable to score runs in the shortest format. He was able to score runs in double digit only three times in the last 10 T20Is. He had a terrible Asia Cup where he managed to score only five runs in two matches. He registered the scores of 1 and 4 in the two matches the team played and lost.
