When asked if he is interested in politics in the future, Tamim Iqbal's answer used to be straightforward. He would answer in his own way. In an interview given to Deutsche Welle in 2020, Tamim directly said, 'I don't have an iota of desire for politics. I think that is not my cup of tea.'
When asked if he is interested in politics in the future, Tamim Iqbal's answer used to be straightforward. He would answer in his own way. In an interview given to Deutsche Welle in 2020, Tamim directly said, 'I don't have an iota of desire for politics. I think that is not my cup of tea.'
At that time his national party teammate Mashrafe Bin Mortaza was elected MP. Now after Mashrafe, another teammate Shakib Al Hasan has also won the national election and has been elected as MP. It is a big thing to have two MPs elected from the cricket field in a span of five years. Using the popularity of the playground, they were elected as public representatives. He got the support of the people. Tamim did not rule out the possibility of becoming a politician like Mashrafe and Shakib.
Although not very interested, Tamim said that he is not willing to speculate about the future. The country's best opener faced the media before taking the BPL field. The topic of politics also comes up there. In reply, Tamim said, 'It is a very risky thing (about entering politics). I said no now, later it was ten years later. Then show it, I said no at first. You can't assume anything in advance. But so far I have no personal interest.'
Shakib's situation was almost the same. In a Facebook post dated September 14, 2013, Shakib wrote, "I am not joining politics and I have no intention of joining politics in my life." Ten years later, Shakib is now the MP for Magura. Circumstances changed his thinking. Although not interested, he came to politics. Tamim, who observes everything very well, is now extra cautious.
This cricketer is not willing to comment in advance on whether he will be the board president in the future, "I have no interest in these things." You can't predict where the future will take you. If Allah has written something like that on my forehead it will happen automatically. I can't take it by force.'
Tamim has not yet met Mashrafe and Shakib after they were elected MPs. In response to the question whether he would congratulate if he met, Tamim said, 'I have not met either of them yet. If we meet, we will definitely talk. Then we will see what happens.
