Key batter Tamim Iqbal has been left out of Bangladesh’s 15-member Cricket World Cup squad because of back injury concerns.
“The decision was taken after consulting with every stakeholder, like the team management which includes captain and head coach and the medical team,” Abedin said. “It is understood his pain could be back any time so we can’t take risk with him.”
Tamim retired from the national team during Bangladesh’s series against Afghanistan in July but reversed the decision after meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.“The injury issue is recurring for him. A fully fit Tamim is a blessing for Bangladesh as he is one of the finest batters in our country,” Abedin said. “Therefore we recalled him in New Zealand series to check his fitness status. The first game was washed out, and he batted, fielded in the second game. Thereafter his pain is back.
Bangladesh has two genuine openers in its squad in Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan. Litton has recently been going through a bad patch and Tanzid, who made his debut during the Asia Cup, is yet to play any big knock.The selection panel also kept Mahmudullah as they believe the senior player has the fitness and form to merit inclusion.Bangladesh opens its World Cup campaign against Afghanistan on Oct. 7.
