Pakistan veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik praised his team Fortune Barishal’s captain Tamim Iqbal as he labelled Tamim ‘Super Star of Bangladesh.’
“He’s a great player and his achievements are for the national team and wherever he plays, I guess he's been very consistent and he's a great player. And I would say that he's a superstar of Bangladesh. He won so many games for Bangladesh and being our captain, I think it's blessings to have him as a captain and he's an old friend and he's a very jolly person as well,” said Malik to the broadcasters.
Malik recently scripted history by becoming only the second batter in the history of T20 cricket to complete 13,000 runs in T20 cricket.
41-years old batter achieved the feat against Rangpur Riders in the 3rd match of BPL as he said each run is very memorable for him.
“Every run is a memorable thing and since I have this opportunity, I would like to thank all the coaching staff wherever I have played, players playing alongside and playing against. I guess these are very special memories, very special moments and I'm still enjoying playing cricket. This is why still taking the hot spots in field positions and still going okay.”
Malik left Dhaka today quite suddenly to Dubai for a personal reason but his franchise confirmed he will be back before their next fixture against Chattaogram Challengers on 27th January in Sylhet.
