Tamim Iqbal retired in shame. However, he retired at the request of the Prime Minister. After that, Tamim is coming to discuss Bangladesh cricket issue one after another. The mysterious 'Tamim chapter' which started in July 2023 is not over yet.

The former captain of the Bangladesh ODI team Tamim has not played any match for the national team in 8 months. The left-handed opener did not confirm when he will return.

However, recently, new discussions have started regarding Tamim's return to the national team. Rumor has it that Nazmul Hossain Shanto, the current captain of the national team, and Jalal Yunus, the head of cricket operations, are talking to him about returning to ODIs. The incident happened yesterday Monday.

Tamim spoke with Shanta yesterday in the dressing room of Sher Bangla Cricket Stadium. And Tamim had a private talk with Jalal Yunus at the BCB office. However, Shanto and Jalal Yunus did not say anything clearly about what Tamim was talking about with them.

Cricket fans are curious to know what exactly Shanto-Tamim talked about. That's why the media workers questioned Shanto about the matter out of curiosity on Tuesday as well.

Shanto went to a function in Gulshan in the capital today to join as Chief Brand Officer of X Ceramics. Yesterday's issue was raised there.

 In response to the questions of the journalists, Shanto said, "(with Tamim) sat and chatted nicely. Talked about cricket. What condition is he in? We talked about how we or I think as a captain. It is difficult to tell you clearly at the moment. Because it's a matter of time. He also asked for some time. Maybe think a little. DPL is also underway. Let the tournament be over. I also need to think a little. Normally, a little bit of cricket... What is the situation, what is there?

Tamim retired from T20 cricket earlier. On the question of whether Tamim will be included in the T20 team after retiring from ODIs, Shanto said, "I would basically like it, if he is fit." Although retired from T20, if he is fit, we will be happy to come in any format. I think, not only me, every person of the country, the cricketer will be happy. It is desire. Ask for it. But first of all he has to ask. Then the rest of the process. However, as a captain, I have discussed a little bit about the things that I want or need.

Not only Tamim, Mushfiqur Rahim also announced his sudden retirement from T20 cricket. Shanto also answered the question whether Tamim-Mushfiqur will be included in the team ahead of the World Cup which will start from next June.

Shanto said, "At the moment, I am not thinking about such (Tamim-Mushfiq's T20 retirement). The World Cup is not long. The team is fairly well settled. And there is an issue of Tamim Bhai's fitness for several days. We talked about that too. I am not thinking about these things at the moment. But of course, ready to call anyone at any time for the team's needs.
