Tips from mentor

Bangladesh ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal and all-rounder Mahmudullah Riyad are set to leave the country on November 8 for the Pakistan Super League playoffs after being included in the squads of Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans respectively. Having a few days in hand, Tamim took time out to practice in Mirpur. Tamim, who has had a lean BCB President's Cup last month, would surely like to recover from his form slump, especially after already vowing to help his PSL side to win the title this year. And in that regard, just as seen in the picture, the southpaw could use some tips from his mentor Mohammad Salahuddin, who was of the opinion that cricketers playing in such foreign leagues have become a need of the hour to help build their confidence and ability.
