Bangladesh’s preparations for the upcoming World Cup in India have been dealt a significant bꦚlow as Tamim Iqbal, their prolific one-day opener, will miss tಞhe tournament due to a persistent back injury.

Injury Blow to Bangladesh Ahead of World Cup

Bangladesh’s preparations for the upcoming World Cup in India have been dea🌟lt a significant blow as Tamim Iqbal, their prolific one-day opener, will miss the ▨tournament due to a persistent back injury.

Retirement Reversed and Captaincy Relinquished

Tamim, who initially announced his retirement from international cricket in July but reversed his decision after meeting with the country’s prime minister,🎀 had to step down as the team’s 50-overs 💃captain due to his back issues. His absence was notable during the Asia Cup.

Back Injury Forces Tamim’s Omission

Despite making a return for this month’s home series against New꧙ Zealand, Tamim experienced discomfort after the first match, which prompted team management to make the difficult decision of leaving him out of the 15-man World Cup squad. All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will lead the team in his absence.

Tamim’s Illustrious Career

Tamim Iqbal is Bangladesh’s highest run-scorer in ODIs, amassing an impressive 8,357 runs in 243 one-day matches. His absenceꦡ will be deeply fe🐟lt by the team.

Reshuffled Batting Order

With Tamim unavailable, the batting order will see Tanzid Hasan partnering with Litton Das at th🐭e ꦉtop, followed by Najmul Hossain Shanto at No. 3.

Bangladesh’s team, led by Shakib Al Hasan, is set to arrive in Guwahati for two warm-up matches in preparati🌳on for the World Cup. After these warm-ups, they will move to Dharamsala for their tournament opener against Afghanistan on October 7.
