T20: Tamim takes break
PBC News: Opener Tamim Iqbal said on Thursday that he is taking a break from international T20 cricket for the next six months. He will continue to play domestic cricket though.
“For the last couple of days, I am having meeting with BCB president, Jalal bhai (BCB cricket operation chairman) and Kazi Inam (BCB director) and they all wanted me to continue T20 cricket especially at least till the World Cup,” Tamim told reporters at Chattogram on Thursday, reports Cricbuzz.
“But my version is different. All I can say is that I am not continuing T20 international cricket for next six months. I will focus on Tests and ODIs during these six months. We have got Test Championship and preparation for the 2023 World Cup, so I will put all my focus in this two formats.
“Hope that whoever will play in the national team will do so well that I won’t be required in international cricket. After six months, if a situation arises that team management feels I am required in the World Cup (T20) and if I am ready, we will discuss.”
