Bangladesh Opener ‘Tamim Iqbal’ retires from T20Is

On Saturday (16 July), Tamim Iqbal, the starting centre for Bangladesh Cricket team announced his retirement from T20 Internationals.

After Bangladesh easily defeated the West Indies in the three-match ODI series in Guyana, Tamim, the Bangladesh ODI captain, announced his retirement from international T20 cricket via a status update on his official Facebook page.

“Consider me retired from T20Is as of right now. Thank you all very much.” Tamim used Bangla to write.

On January 27, Tamim announced a six-month vacation from T20 Internationals, while he still participated in a domestic T20 tournament.
Before the six-month deadline passed, Tamim promised to make clear his stance on his future in T20I matches due to the uncertainty around it.

Tamim participated in 78 T20Is and scored 1758 runs—including one century and seven fifties—at an average of 24.08 and a strike rate of 117.2.
