Tamim Iqbal is returning to competitive cricket after a long time. The left-handed opener will play for Fortune Barisal in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) starting from Friday. Before Tamim's return to the field, discussions about his future in international cricket have started again. Discussions are going on whether he will be seen again in the national team.
Tamim and BCB said that the two sides will discuss in January and give a decision. Before returning to the field, Tamim said today that he will announce his international cricket future during the BPL. When asked about returning to the national team, Tamim said, 'You will know very soon. You will know during BPL.
Tamim, who has been away from cricket for a long time, has little chance of returning to international cricket. He left T20 cricket a long time ago. His fitness and body are not in a condition to play Tests. ODI cricket was his only focus. But Tamim is far from there. It is heard that he is less interested in playing international cricket. The former captain will only give his decision after discussing with the board. But many people think that he will have a chance to return to T20 well in BPL. Tamim stopped that discussion too. In response to the question whether he misses international T20, Sojasapta said, 'No.'
Tamim has requested BCB not to keep him in the central contract as there is no possibility of returning to international cricket. BCB is also moving in that direction. Now only formalities on both sides are left. Tamim claimed that he has not got 100% fitness yet after returning to the field. The team management did not want to keep him in the World Cup team due to his lack of 100% fitness. Later, the captain Shakib Al Hasan directly informed that if he comes to the field without having 100% fitness, he will be 'cheating' with the team.
Tamim sees no problem with fitness complications and cheating in BPL, 'No (cheating will not be done). I don't think so. Injuries are such a part... I will still say, no cricketer or any sportsman can say that I am 100% fit. Ninety percent fit, seventy percent fit. It is percent fit. Some people have more or less niggles. That doesn't mean he won't play.
Taking the example of Mahmudullah Riyad, Tamim said, 'Mahmudullah Riyad has returned from injury. He still has some niggles. If he thinks he is good to go from the first match. Then of course he will play. Tamim said while explaining his position for a long time, "There was not much practice even in three months. I have been batting for the last two and a half weeks. I am fine day by day, there is a little restiness. I am sure I have done everything I can before the start of the BPL.'
