BCB, Shakib-Tamim: Even before Tamim Iqbal could be named in Bangladesh’s 15-man squad for the ICC World Cup 2023, he decided to pull out of the tournament.
The veteran batsman reportedly took this decision due to the restrictions imposed on him. Like being asked to sit out Bangladesh’s opening game, or batting lower down the order in their opening game against Afghanistan.
Let us tell you that after complaining of back problem after the second ODI against New Zealand, BCB had decided not to include Tamim in its 15-man World Cup due to insufficient fitness.
But Tamim claimed that he was shocked when a top BCB official told him through a video message that if he is included in Bangladesh’s XI for the opening game against Afghanistan, he will have to bat lower down the order. Otherwise you will have to sit outside.
Cricbuzz has learned from BCB sources that the offer was made by BCB chief Nazmul Hasan over a call which allegedly provoked Tamim to misbehave and use foul language.
