“Shakib Al Hasan said he will not play the World Cup if Tamim…”: Shakib’s Stern Warning To Bangladesh Cricket Board

In a dramatic turn of events in the world of Bangladesh cricket, the current skipper, Shakib Al Hasan, has thrown down the gauntlet. He’s made it abundantly clear that he won’t be a part of the ICC World Cup 2023 if the injured Tamim Iqbal boards the plane to India with the team. Hold onto your seats; this one’s going to be a bumpy ride.

It all unfolded during a high-stakes meeting with the President of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The showdown featured none other than the formidable pair – Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal. Tensions ran high as Tamim revealed that he wasn’t in the best shape to take on the world’s best in every game. Instead, he expressed his willingness to grace the field in just five crucial clashes.

But here’s where the plot thickens. Shakib Al Hasan, known for his fiery spirit and unwavering commitment, was having none of it. He didn’t mince words and put his foot down. If Tamim was to be part of the World Cup squad and limit his appearances to a mere five matches, Shakib was ready to bid farewell to the team. Yes, you read that right. Shakib Al Hasan was willing to walk away, making it clear that he wanted someone who could give their all.

Somoy TV had reported earlier that Tamim Iqbal had a candid conversation with the BCB. He stated unequivocally that if they chose to include him in the World Cup roster, they needed to acknowledge his fitness limitations. Tamim’s declaration was crystal clear – he could only commit to five matches. It was a bombshell, and the shockwaves rippled through the cricketing fraternity.

Shakib Al Hasan’s response was nothing short of astonishing. He refused to accept Tamim’s conditions and proclaimed that he, too, would withdraw from the World Cup if Tamim was to make the cut and restrict his participation. Shakib’s stance was clear – he wanted a full-time player, not a part-time contributor. The future of Bangladesh cricket hung in the balance.
