However, now former Bangladeshi captain Mashrafe Mortaza has entered this controversy. Mortaza has criticized the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for failing to handle the Tamim Iqbal situation and allowing it to turn into a major controversy. Mortaza said that captain Shakib Al Hasan should have contacted Tamim and discussed the matter amicably with him.
Mortaza went live on his official Facebook page and highly criticized BCB. He said, “As captain, Shakib could have sent a message to Tamim or talked to him for a minute, saying, 'I have this plan, I will discuss it with you later.' I think that would have resolved the whole issue here.”
At the same time, Tamim was asked to bat in the middle order in the World Cup whereas he has batted as an opening batsman throughout his career and hence he clearly refused it, as a result he was dropped from the World Cup team. Went. On this issue, Mortaza was quoted by India Today as saying, “As per my cricket knowledge, the instructions to bat in the middle order or leave the first match should have come from the coach, captain or selector. Not from any BCB official. He could have said this after announcing the team or two days before the first game. I don't understand the reason behind telling this to Tamim before announcing the team.
Let us tell you that after the announcement of Tamim's retirement, the matter also reached the Prime Minister. He asked Tamim to play the World Cup and hence Tamim agreed to it. But now the surprising thing is that he is not a part of the World Cup team.
