Tamim to return to nat’l team next year, says Papon

UNB, Dhaka :
Bangladesh’s sports minister and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hasan Papon hinted Tamim Iqbal’s return to the national team next year during a media interaction on Monday in Savar.
Tamim has been absent from the national team for a considerable period. Prior to the last Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) season, he stated he would consider his return after the tournament. However, he remained silent on the matter for months following the T20 league.
The BCB also offered no definitive updates about Tamim’s international comeback.
BCB’s chief selector, Gazi Ashraf Hossain, recently ruled out the possibility of Tamim’s return for the upcoming T20I World Cup in June (USA and the West Indies).
