Tamim set for Lord’s return

Staff Correspondent


Opener Tamim Iqbal is all set to return to Lord’s where he made a famous Test century as he has been included in the World XI for an exhibition match at the sacred cricket venue in July.
Marylebone Cricket Club, the owner of the venue, will play the match against Rest of the World XI as part of Bicentenary celebrations of the current Lord’s Ground.
The match is the reflection of the celebrations for the Club’s Bicentenerary in 1987 when Mike Gatting – who will serve as MCC president this year – captained the club and scored 179.
Tamim has been included in the World XI alongside Sakib al Hasan for the match

When you post a strong reaction, expect strong reaction back. You should expect that on a forum. Don't act surprised

Offensive posts result in offended responses.

Shakib playing in SCG and MCG. It will be so amazing to see just one of our players in those grand aussie stadiums, albeit not in red and green but now any jersey will do

But I will wait for that day when our players walk up to play tests in MCG. Tamim in whites facing Harris/Johnson and then Rubel bowling to Warner/Clarke.

EDIT: oh wait this is the MCC game thread. wanted to post in Shakib + BBL thread. too late now

Lol nah I just thought that was a post which was of poor taste and unnecessary. Thats why I spoke up about it. This is a good thing that both Shakib and Tamim have been called to play this match. As fans we should support them and hope they play well.
