Tamim will not return to international cricket this year
What will Tamim Tamim Iqbal return to the Bangladesh national team? And when it returns? For the past few months, such questions have been circulating in the country's cricket circles. Tamim himself said that he will talk about his career with the board. He had a long meeting with the nominated board members on Sunday. It is known that the left-handed opener said that he will not return to international cricket this year.
Tamim played the last international match against New Zealand before India's World Cup. Then all of a sudden various incidents happened with him. This star cricketer removed himself from the World Cup team. He was not seen in the national team after that. Even in the current year i.e. 2024, there is no possibility of seeing him in the national team.
Tamim is currently playing Tests and ODIs as he retired from T20. However, due to his physical condition and fitness problems, he also said in the discussion with the board that he will not play any more Tests. A BCB source has confirmed that if he returns, he will return to the ODI format next year.
Tamim also expressed his objections about some issues in the meeting with BCB yesterday. The opener himself said during the BPL that a lot of things have to go right for him to return to the national team. In this regard, BCB Cricket Operations Chairman Jalal said, 'We have heard everything from him and have also spoken to him. We will convey the message to the President and we think that this issue will be resolved very quickly.'
Meanwhile, BCB director and Abahani Limited coach Khaled Mahmud Sujan was asked whether Tamim's decision has an impact on Bangladesh cricket. However, he does not want to comment on this. But the issue needs to be resolved quickly, he said, 'I think as soon as possible a solution can be sat down...it is a matter that is becoming the talk of the town every day. I think Bangladesh cricket is above all these things.
However, Sujan is not willing to accept Tamim's return to the national team with a condition, 'We all want Tamim to return. If you want to play, you must play. But will play with the condition, how does it look to hear this, as a cricketer. I will play for the national team, the country, the national team - all this is long ago, far above. It looks bad to hear that there will be conditions or not.'
