I don't think many people care enough for that. Be it 17 or 21, we should still wait until he's ready, and the team is mature enough to bring new people in.

right on the money. i mentioned that on some other thread.

We should wait and see if Habib continues his bad form, in which case he should retire. Tamim should be vying for that spot, and if he can prove himself for another 4-6 months, why not?

Tamim is a choker just like Tusher. If you need proof look at U19 WC. In all matches he flopped but scored century in pratice match. Our present opening pair is fine. No need for Tamim (May be in 20-20)

He was the newest and the youngest member in u19 team. That may have caused him some jitter. That did not qualify him as choker. In American sports it is called rookie mistake. He will give the bowlers jitter now.
Cheers!

He needs time. I believe his brother was brought on a bit too early. He needs to play a few seasons in the domestic leagues and needs to be tested playing for the A team and so on.

Farhad · #32 December 27, 2006, 02:12 AM

Thats what seems to be the greatest reason people find for not adding him to the team, his brother was brought on to the team too early, but that doesnt say anything at all about Tamim specifically, I think he should be tested against England A in the BD A team...

gravitY · #33 December 27, 2006, 02:47 AM

Please check Wasim Jaffer's first class run, yet he played only 2 ODI's. This should give some clue as to how matured a player should be before being picked up for national squad. Tamim is a real prospect, but I find absolutely no reason to see him in WC.

Wasim Jaffer

Read this article

Wasim Jaffer was never considered a good ODI batsman, that's why he played just two ODIs so far. He made his test debut against South Africa in 2000, when he was 22 years old.

Rabz · #36 December 28, 2006, 07:02 AM

As said earlier, he is a good prospect..but no need to rush him in...
the kid is only around 20 years of age..
still plenty of time for him...

let him play regular matches in A team, prove himself, show consistent performance in the FC games as well,,, im sure he will make his way in the national team...
but till then.... just have a bit of patience....

Omio · #37 December 28, 2006, 07:22 AM

But its apparent to me that he would be better than M.JR,

kalpurush · #38 December 28, 2006, 09:06 PM

Well, he would be playing twenty20 against Mahamedan tonight. Lets see how he is?!

i hope this hasn't been posted before:

Old DOHS' opening batsman Tamim Iqbal plays one on the on-side during his 41-ball 67 against Partex SC in the KAI-Altech Premier Division 20/20 Cricket League 2006-07, Dhanmondi, December 20, 2006

-Cricinfo

mhferdaus · #40 December 29, 2006, 03:05 AM

patience ... he should be slided in in about 1 to 2 years, we need a little bit of stability in our team right now, and somehow wish that Farhad would be called back, perhaps if Mashud retires from ODI team and Bashar in about 2 years then we can have Mushfique and Farhad in the middle, they did seem good single takers and shot makers at the same time, crucial for middle overs.

Just Imagine ... Full potential Shahriar Nafees, then Full potential Mehrab/ Tamim, then Full potential Aftab, then Full potential Saqib ( with avg like 45 ), then Full potential Farhad then Duely matured Mushfique ... you get the idea, a real horrible sight for the opponents ( and scary for the bolwers

) in the near future INSHA-ALLAH, I just hope they do not become as inconsistent as the Pakistan team, and consistently does good, like the Aussie team ( without cheating

).

TheWatcher · #41 December 29, 2006, 06:24 AM

Technically, Tamim did not look any better than Razzak as a batsman. He hits it hard, but lacks control over his shots, that too against some very poor bowling.

Yes. Tamim has a long way to go. Superior reflex and power can only take you so far. Having said that he is much better than Razzak. After watching him last night, I have lowered my high hopes about him, a lot.

Spitfire_x86 · #43 December 29, 2006, 03:16 PM

I didn't watch Tamim's batting. If he's Rokon jnr then we shouldn't give him chance at all (not even in 20-20 international)

cricketboy · #44 December 29, 2006, 03:47 PM

We should send him to play minor county cricket in England next year and see how does he do.

sensible · #45 December 29, 2006, 04:22 PM

A lot of our current players came into the national team too early. But now we have a sort of set team and we can afford to give the new players more time in the pipeline to prepare them for the big league. Think about players in Australia or England....those guys have to wait for so long before coming to the national side. It's good that we now have a number of players with high potential waiting and competing for a call in the national team. I think we should take enough time before we include them. Also, it is important that the pipeline of players do not dry-out. BCB should spend more time and money in making sure of that. If we can do that, the future of Bangladesh cricket is bright.

thebest · #46 December 29, 2006, 09:06 PM

Numbers do not tell the whole story. Yesterday was a perfect example. Nadif scored much less than Tamim. But I was more impressed with Nadif than Tamim (I watch the match). Tamim is simply brute power. Nothing else. Completly agreed with P-C that he has long way to go even for getting consideration.

Farhad · #47 January 13, 2007, 05:52 PM

Thought I would bring this back after Tamims recent knock against Partex. Has anybody changed their minds? I personally havent changed mine, but if he keeps playing even close to how he's playing right now, why not? Im talking about after the WC of course. It doesnt matter if he isnt too elegant in his strokeplay, he keeps getting the results, even if it IS against poor opposition. The fact is, he is performing (result-wise) much better than even the national players (and yes, i know partex isnt too great a team) and if he can keep doing that for the months to come, hell yeah!

The problem is,performing at National LEvel and international level are two different things,otherwise,we'd have Faisal Hossain and HAsibul Hossain Shanto in our team.

However,Tamim will get his chance.Let's see if he can utilize that

mshakir56 · #49 January 14, 2007, 01:40 AM

Guys, As far as I am concerned, Tamim Iqbal is a far better batsman than Mehrab Hossain Jr. If Mehrab is ready to play in the world cup then so is Tamim.

shujan · #50 January 14, 2007, 10:19 AM

Batsman	Status	Runs	Balls	4's	6's	S.Rate
Tamim Iqbal Khan	c Rashed Hanif b Rezaul Haque Nayeem	188	160	12	12	117.50

Just having strength to hit 12 6's and 12 4's in an ODI inning should bring you in the National team. Tamim should get some time with the bat in Zimbabwe to see whether he can do the same or close in internationl cricket. He needs all the opportunity to establish himself in the international cricket.

Here is a probable line up

1) Shahreer
2) Mehrab
3) Aftab
4) Tamim
