Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan remains suspended from bowling in competitions governed by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed in a statement.
Tamim Iqbal officially announced his retirement from international cricket through a Facebook post, bringing down the curtain on a storied career that spanned over 16 years. The 35-year-old opener leaves behind a legacy filled with remarkable achievements and records that have cemented his place as one of Bangladesh’s greatest cricketers.
Speculation had been rife for some time that Tamim Iqbal might make a comeback to international cricket through the upcoming Champions Trophy. However, the veteran opener has put an end to all such discussions by announcing that he will not be returning to international cricket.
Tamim Iqbal, Bangladesh’s premier opener, etched his name into the record books once again as he became the first Bangladeshi cricketer to score 8,000 runs in T20 cricket.
Shakib Al Hasan is currently awaiting the results of a second test on his bowling action conducted in Chennai, India. This follows a failed assessment at Loughborough University in the UK, which led to his suspension from bowling in both domestic and international cricket.
Despite returning from a sudden retirement from international cricket, Tamim Iqbal has had limited opportunities to play for the national team. While he hasn’t officially retired, Tamim currently remains outside the squad, and speculation about his future has intensified, particularly with the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy on the horizon.
