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.
Fortune Barishal skipper Tamim Iqbal has been handed one demerit point and a warning for breaching Level 1 Article 2.6 of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Code of Conduct during his team's fifth match against Rangpur Riders on Thursday.
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.
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.
Tamim Iqbal played a match-winning knock of 86 runs to secure a 7-wicket win for Fortune Barishal in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). This marks Barishal’s second win of the tournament, both coming against Durbar Rajshahi in their three matches so far.
Representing Fortune Barishal, captain Tamim Iqbal shared his thoughts on how the tournament could be better organized and offered constructive suggestions to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
Barishal pulled off a stunning 5-wicket victory over Chattogram in the NCL T20, thanks to an unforgettable last-over blitz by wicketkeeper-batter Salman Hossain. With 27 runs needed off the final over, Salman, who was on 26 off 22 balls, delivered a performance for the ages.
After a seven-month hiatus, Tamim Iqbal returned to form with a blazing half-century against Sylhet in the second match of the National Cricket League T20. Chattogram clinched a 12-run victory as the game reduced to 15 overs per side due to bad light, at the Sylhet Academy Ground.
In the opening day of the National Cricket League T20, Chattogram Division suffered a defeat against Rangpur Division. The match marked the much-anticipated return of Tamim Iqbal after 219 days. However, Tamim managed only 13 runs off 10 balls, hitting one four and one six.
