Tahmid, who briefly competed in Bangladesh’s domestic circuit with Prime Bank during the 2017 Dhaka Premier League, transitioned to coaching after his playing days. Recognizing Tahmid’s expertise, Australia’s head coach Andrew McDonald integrated him into the team’s coaching setup.

Konstas, making history as Australia’s youngest-ever Test opener, dazzled with a fearless 60 off 65 balls. His innings included six boundaries and two audacious sixes, one of which was a switch-hit against India’s ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah. His 89-run opening stand with Usman Khawaja, who contributed a steady 57, gave Australia a solid start.

“I’m just really happy for him [Konstas]. It’s probably come a bit earlier than he expected, but I believe he’s ready,” Tahmid told The Age before the Melbourne Test.

Although Konstas’ innings ended with a leg-before dismissal by Ravindra Jadeja, his aggressive approach set the tone for the day.

Tahmid, who grew up in Australia, played in the Sydney Cricket Championship for Western Suburbs. Later, he also represented Essex and Yorkshire in England. Tahmid was part of the Bangladesh team's net bowling squad for the 2015 World Cup and, on the advice of former Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha, joined the Dhaka Premier League.

In the 2017 Premier Division Cricket League, he was included in the Prime Bank Cricket squad but did not get a chance to play that year.

After concluding his playing career, Tahmid is now coaching in various parts of the world. This July, he worked with the San Francisco Unicorns, a team in the United States' Major League Cricket.
