‘Tamim doesn’t want to play T20Is’
Tamim’s 2nd fifty in vain
Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan yesterday said that Tamim Iqbal has expressed his desire not to play T20 Internationals anymore.
The BCB president, while talking to reporters, said that the national team opener informed him of his desire when they last had a talk on the issue.
"The last time I had a talk with Tamim, I asked him to return in T20Is. I told him he's the best opener and he should play while talking over phone. He asked me not to pressure him on this issue, but said he does not want to play in this format," Hassan told media.
"When he said that I felt there is nothing else to be said. If someone doesn't want to play in a format, he should not be forced," the BCB president added.
Tamim last played a T20 international in March, 2020 against Zimbabwe.
The left-handed batsman recently returned from an injury and scored two half-centuries for Minister Group Dhaka in the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League.
