Need to split the file path/directory and use it as an argument using shell script

I need to split the file path/directory and use it as an argument using shell script.

I have a file path: /home/ubuntu/testscriptsfolder/jmx/*.jmx and need to get only *.jmx in my variable so that I can pass it as an argument in one of my run commands.

Please suggest how it is achievable in shell script.

These commands are useful for that:

$ basename /path/to/name
name
$ dirname /path/to/name
/path/to
