Bangladesh Opener Tamim Iqbal pulled out from ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021

Bangladesh Opener Tamim Iqbal has pulled out of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021. Which is to be held in the United Arab Emirates and Oman from 17 October. “As I did not play in the last 15 to 20 T20 matches, and whoever replaces me, I don’t think it would be fair on them if I take their place,” the southpaw said through a video message on Facebook.

However, Bangladesh Opener Tamim Iqbal noted that he isn’t retiring from the format. Tamim suffered a knee injury during the Test series against Sri Lanka in April. He subsequently missed the T20I series against Zimbabwe and the home series against Australia. He is also not a part of the Bangladesh squad for the five-match T20I rubber vs New Zealand.

“I just called board president Papon Bhai (Nazmul Hasan) and chief selector Nanno Bhai (Minhajul Abedin) a few minutes back and said that I don’t think I should be playing in the World Cup and I am not available for it. I have taken that decision and I will stick to it. He also said that I am not retiring. It is just that I am not available for this World Cup

”I think game-plan is one of the biggest reasons because I am not playing this format for a long time and second… (knee) injury, but I don’t think that is a big problem because I feel I will be okay before the World Cup,” he added.
