This sort of rifts between players are common among many teams, especially when it comes to Asian sides. For example - Rohit and Kohli keep their distance as well. Ego clashes between Pakistani cricketers over years have been way way worse. Some of them still slinging mud at each other years after retirements (latest example - Ramiz and Shoaib). Only a moron like Papon, who supposed to be the paternal figure for Bangladesh team, exposes dressing room dirty laundry to media.

The distance between Shakib and Tamim is nothing new, it has been there for years now. To their credit, they didn't let it get in the way while playing for Bangladesh team, kept it low profile as barely noticeable. Instead of helping the situation, our idiot board president has blown things out of proportion and created a distraction for players before a crucial home series.

The problem here is not Shakib or Tamim, but Papon. This guy is a control freak. Whenever he can't control a situation or faces criticism, he throws a tantrum in the media.
