Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal said that he is confident of getting back to form soon as he prepares to take on West Indies on June 17.
In the three completed matches that Bangladesh have played in so far, Tamim has scores of 16, 24 and 19 against England, New Zealand and South Africa respectively - showing that he is getting himself off to a start, but not capitalizing on the same.
In his last three innings, Tamim played 28 deliveries against England, 37 balls against the Kiwis and 28 deliveries against the Protease before getting dismissed and that remained a worrying part for him as it is quite unusual as he got out every time after getting set at the middle.

Tamim generally makes handy scores when he gets set at the middle but on the last three occasions he missed the opportunity to score big.
"In the last three matches I started to play what was required in the first five to seven overs but somehow when everything was under control, I gave away my wickets and that was disappointing because usually it does not happen,’’ said Tamim.
‘’I am hopeful if I can get a good start I will be able to do well," he summed up,’’ he said adding that he is looking forward to make his maiden appearance in Taunton count.
‘’I hope so [scoring runs]I am capable of doing it. I have never played here before. But I have heard that it’s a paradise for the batsmen,’’ he said.
‘’Now they are making the wicket a bit different, different from what we generally see here. If you see the match of Australia vs Pakistan, we will see that bowlers also got some help from the wicket,’’ he said.
‘’ Weather is not on our side too. Whatever the wicket, we have to play and we have to play well,’’ he concluded
