Tamim Iqbal's fate within the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) underwent deliberation in a recent meeting with BCB chief Nazmul Hasan Papon. Originally scheduled for Sunday, the meeting had to be rescheduled due to Papon's preoccupation with national election nominations. However, the critical discussion transpired on Monday at Nazmul Hasan's residence, with the presence of Jalal Yunus, chairman of the Cricket Operation department.
Former captain Tamim Iqbal engaged in discussions about his future with the President of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), Nazmul Hasan Papon. Following their meeting, Papon addressed the media, while Tamim held a separate press conference hours later. "I will probably start playing again from the BPL. I never want to waste time. I communicated my decision to the board president about what I want to do. Since they told me to wait until BPL, I can wait." - Tamim Iqbal
The Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) President, Nazmul Hasan Papon, has issued a stern warning to various media outlets, including online platforms and private television channels, regarding recent news publications on multiple issues. The prominent topic has been the Mushfiqur fixing scandal, particularly a report from a private television channel in 2011 that raised doubts about Mushfiqur's dismissal and accused him of spot-fixing. Papon is addressing these matters with a serious threat to the media.
The tenure of the current selection panel, headed by Minhajul Abedin Nannu, is set to conclude on December 31. The uncertainty prevails regarding the formation of the new selection committee, with discussions ongoing about whether the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will opt for a fresh committee or retain the existing one. Speculation is rife about potential successors in the event of Habibul Bashar's departure.
