Good and bad news for Tamim
Although there will be the regret of not scoring a century after imperious displays of batting saw Tamim Iqbal get fifties in both innings of the first Test against Australia, the left-hander will be glad to receive the news that he has reached a career-best 14th place in the ICC Test Batsman rankings.
The 28 year old batted brilliantly and showed great patience on a pitch which was extremely difficult for the batsman as he scored 71 in the first innings and 78 in the second innings to lay the foundations for a historic win.
Tamim jumped six places from his previous position in the ICC rankings to reach the best position a Bangladesh batsman has ever had in Tests.
However, there was also a bad news for Tamim as he was fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching the ICC's code of conduct during the fourth day's play.
In addition to the fine for his breach of article 2.1.1, one demerit point has been added to Tamim's disciplinary record. Since Tamim had come into the match with one demerit point against his name, he is now on two demerit points.
If the 28-year-old reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they will be converted into suspension points and he will be banned.
Tamim had received the earlier demerit point during the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo on 16 March 2017.
The incident took place in the first session of the fourth day's play when Tamim debated continuously with the umpires while the Australian batsmen were changing their gloves regularly. Shortly thereafter, he approached Matthew Wade and gestured towards him to leave the field upon his dismissal.
Meanwhile, Shakib Al Hasan also moved up three places to a career-best 14th position in the ICC's Test Bowler rankings after his match haul of 10 for 153 at Mirpur. The champion all-rounder also consolidated his position at the top of the Test All-rounders' list, racking up his highest aggregate of 489 points. He scored 84 and five respectively in the two innings.
Spinner Mehedi Hasan jumped three places to 30th, while Taijul Islam moved up four places to 32nd.
