Mahmudul admitted he had not changed much with his technique during his time out of the Test side, putting his success at Sylhet down to hard work in the nets alongside his coaches.
The 25-year-old made special mention of working with Ashraful ahead of the Ireland series, after the former Bangladesh captain joined the side as batting coach recently.
“No, not much has changed technically. I used to have a big shuffle across and now it’s much shorter – that’s the only change I’ve made,” Mahmudul said.
“I didn’t really work on anything major here. I’d say I worked more in the Tigers camp. I got a lot of help from the local coaches there.
“Ashraful bhai (Bangladesh’s new batting coach) just came for this series and I hadn’t worked much with him before. He just gave a couple of points. Salahuddin sir (coach Mohammad Salahuddin) was there before and he knows me. So no big changes were made. They just told me to play my natural game.”
