Tamim iqbal

In a major blow to the Bangladesh cricket team, opening batter Tamim Iqbal has been ruled out of the highly anticipated one-off Test match against Afghanistan. The match is scheduled to commence on Wednesday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, reports UNB. Tamim's absence from the team comes as a result of persistent lower back pain that has been troubling him in recent times. Despite extensive treatment and rehabilitation efforts by the doctors, the experienced opener's condition has not improved sufficiently to allow him to participate in the Test match. The left-handed batsman has been grappling with stiffness and pain while batting and fielding during training sessions, hindering his ability to prepare adequately for the five-day format. As a result, the medical team made the difficult decision to rule him out of the crucial encounter. The national team management, along with the coaching staff, will now have to make the necessary adjustments to their batting order to compensate for Tamim's absence. The onus will fall on the remaining batsmen to step up and deliver against a challenging Afghan bowling attack. Bangladesh is already facing injury concerns, with all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan also unavailable due to an injury. Shakib's absence means that the Tigers will have to face Afghanistan without their main spinner and an influential figure in the team. On the other hand, Afghanistan is also dealing with their own injury setbacks, as their star bowler Rashid...

DHAKA: Bangladesh will see how opening batsman Tamim Iqbal gets on during practice before deciding if he is fit to play in the one-off Test against Afghanistan in Dhaka starting Wednesday. The hosts are already missing star all-rounder and skipper Shakib Al Hasan, who has been nursing a finger injury, and there are also doubts whether pace bowler Taskin Ahmed will play. The availability of Tamim — one of Bangladesh’s most experienced players and posting an average of 38.89 with the bat — will depend how his back is after practice. “I think he is going to train today and see how he feels,” coach Chandika Hathurusingha said on Tuesday. “He trained the day before and he had some discomfort when he was doing certain disciplines, fielding and batting. “So he’s going to train today and we will assess him after training.” If Tamim does not make it, Zakir Hasan and Mahmudul Hasan could open the batting for Bangladesh. Hathurusingha also refused to guarantee the inclusion of Taskin despite him recovering from a side injury that ruled him out of Bangladesh’s last Test, a seven-wicket win over Ireland in April. With the Asia Cup and one-day World Cup approaching, the team are worried about Taskin’s workload. He is one of the few players who is a regular starter for Bangladesh in all three formats when fit. “Physically I think he is in the best condition we all have seen,” said Hathurusingha. “There’s no injury. Bowling workload is the one little bit of concern we had leading up to th...
