I didn’t want to be a part of ‘BCB’s dirty game: Tamim

Agency :
Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal revealed a top management from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) asked him not to play the first game against Afghanistan in the World Cup and also gave another option to bat in the middle order if he plays.

Former ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal exposed in his 12 minutes long video that he was surprised and angry because he has never batted at lower order in his career.

Tamim remarked BCB played a dirty game and that’s why he opted out of the World Cup due to unfair treatment.

“A top BCB official who is very much involved with the team called me and said ‘You’re going to the World Cup, we have to manage you, better you sit out in the Afghanistan match.

I was shocked and replied “It’s still 12-13 days to go before the match.

I will be in good condition by then.

Why won’t I play?”

“Even if you play, we are planning to make you bat down the order,” Tamim quoted the BCB official in his Facebook video.
