Tamim hands over CA cricket bats to U-19 cricketers

Agency :
Former captain of Bangladesh Cricket team Tamim Iqbal has arranged 15 ‘CA brand’ bats for the U-19 Asia Cup-winning team ahead of the U-19 World Cup.

The young Tigers had requested high-quality bats before the Asia Cup tournament. After finding out about their request, Tamim used his long-standing sponsorship with the company to arrange for the bats with the help of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).

The left-handed opener contacted the President of the Bangladesh Cricket Board Nazmul Hassan Papon and Chief Executive Officer of the BCB Nizam Uddin Chowdhury on his own.

When the BCB gave the green signal, Tamim arranged bats for 15 players.

The young cricketers are currently practicing at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) in the capital’s Mirpur ahead of the U-19 World Cup. Tamim handed over the bats to the young cricketers on Friday morning during practice.

After the training camp at the SBNCS in Mirpur, the team will fly to South Africa on January 7.

The team is scheduled to play a warm-up match against Zimbabwe.

Bangladesh will start the World Cup mission with a match against India. Following that they face Ireland and USA.
