Khairul Alam : Tamim Iqbal relinquished the captaincy in ODI cricket. He made the announcement at a press conference at the BCB president’s residence on Thursday evening.
BCB President Nazmul Hasan Papon and other officials have been meeting Tamim ever since returned to the country after undergoing treatment for his back injury. Although there were rumors about this for the last two days, but in fact they sat in a meeting today.
However, the meeting between Tamim and Papon took place in the strictest secrecy. The whole day the media personnel could not find out anything about this. In the afternoon it was announced that there would be a press conference at the BCB President’s house in Gulshan at 8 pm.
In that press conference, Tamim had announced to relinquish the ODI captaincy. Apart from this, he will not play in the Asia Cup due to injury.
Tamim had suddenly retired during the last series against Afghanistan. However, the country’s best opening batsman decided to come out of retirement on the request of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
