Early and domestic career


Mahmood was born in Birmingham, England, to Pakistani parents who belong to the Mirpuri diaspora, with roots in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.[2]

In April 2019, Mahmood became the first bowler for Lancashire to take a five-wicket haul in successive List A matches, when he did so in the 2019 Royal London One-Day Cup.[3]

In May 2021, Mahmood took his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, with 5/47 in the 2021 County Championship match against Yorkshire.[4]

In April 2022, he was bought by the Oval Invincibles for the 2022 season of The Hundred.[5] However, the following month he was ruled out of the rest of the season after suffering a back stress fracture.[6]

Mahmood is a Liverpool FC fan.[7]


International career


In September 2019, Mahmood was named in England's Test and Twenty20 International (T20I) squads for their series against New Zealand.[8]

Mahmood made his T20I debut for England, against New Zealand, on 3 November 2019.[9]

Mahmood made his ODI debut for England, against South Africa, on 9 February 2020.[10]

In August 2021, Mahmood was added to England's squad for the second Test against India, after Stuart Broad was ruled out of the rest of the series due to injury.[11] In February 2022, Mahmood was again named in England's Test squad, this time for their series against the West Indies.[12]

Mahmood made his Test debut on 16 March 2022, for England against the West Indies.[13]
