“The team who will play well on the day, will win the match,” Tamim said ahead of the tournament. “Cricket has returned to the ground after a long time, so it will be a competitive tournament. A total of 50/60 players will play here and I think, we can gain many things on Individual level from this tournament. For youngsters it’s a good platform to showcase their talent,” concluded Tamim.
Tamim said it would be a competitive tournament where his side won’t leave an give an inch to become champions.
“Our main target is to clinch the trophy. But at the end, he who will play better on the day will become champions. We will miss the crowd who won’t be able to be present here due to the pandemic. Our target is to play our best cricket,” he added.
