T: The Bangladesh team will leave the country for the World Cup on Wednesday (September 27) afternoon. However, the final squad for the World Cup has not been announced yet. Before the announcement of the team, the news of Shakib-Tamim conflict is heard again.
The two were once close friends. But now there is no such relationship. There are many reports of their conflicts in the media at various times. But the two superstars of the country's cricket said that the conflict will not affect the team. However, before the World Cup, the conflict between the two former friends is at an extreme again, according to various BCB sources.
Tamim returned to the national team with the New Zealand series after retirement. Although he did not get a chance to bat in the first ODI, he played an innings of 44 runs in the second match. After the match, he talked about his fitness. He said that he is still not 100% fit.
According to various sources, Tamim spoke to the BCB president after the match. He said that he will play a maximum of five matches in the World Cup. But according to the schedule, Bangladesh has to play at least 9 matches in the World Cup. Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of three formats, was shocked to hear such a condition of the team's star batsman.
Shakib told the BCB president that he will not play in the World Cup if that happens. After knowing this, Tamim also said that he does not want to play in the World Cup. BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon faced an uncomfortable situation. Former captain Mashrafe bin Mortaza approached for help.
The BCB boss asked to address the issue by talking to the two cricketers. Mashrafe, who is busy in election work, is returning to Dhaka. If this conflict between Shakib-Tamim is true, the Bangladesh Cricket Board may be in a difficult situation before the World Cup. But in the end it is a matter of seeing how far the water will go.
