Youth and Sports adviser Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan made his first visit to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) headquarters on Monday noon, where he met with officials, staff, cricketers and had a discussion with former Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal.
Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal criticised the team’s decision-making following the team's 50-run defeat in a T20 World Cup Super Eight match against India in Antigua yesterday. The leading run-scorer for Bangladesh in international cricket, sharing his opinion as an expert with ESPNcricinfo, was perplexed by a few decisions that Bangladesh made in regards to the toss and personnel.
“Definitely not,” Tamim told the ESPNCricinfo when asked if Shakib should be dropped from the XI in Bangladesh’s next match
“I think it has to come from the top four,” Tamim told ESPNCricinfo yesterday.
More than a year into his contract, Hathurusingha got to see both sides of the coin. In 2023, Bangladesh whitewashed defending champions England, and Afghanistan won a series against Ireland at home and claimed their maiden T20I win over New Zealand in the BlackCaps’ backyard. But less than a year since enjoying their best ever run in the shortest format, the Tigers spiralled down to their lowest point, displaying a severe lack of continuity.
Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto articulated his thoughts pretty well regarding many of the issues that have piled up between the Sri Lanka series and the upcoming Zimbabwe series.
“But first of all, he has to want it and then the rest of the process comes. But as a captain I discussed my wants and needs with him,” Shanto said.
“It was not a serious discussion... But given his [Tamim] experience, having him in the side is advantageous and junior players can learn from him,” Shanto said
While Tamim Iqbal started for Prime Bank Cricket Club, Shakib Al Hasan was not included in the Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club eleven during the two sides’ Dhaka Premier League (DPL) encounter at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Saturday.
