Before the 2023 World Cup, Tamim Iqbal makes stunning statements about the BCB. After
declaring his retirement in July, Tamim Iqbal changed his mind a day later at the urging of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid. In the first two games of the three-match ODI home series against New Zealand, he was a member of the team.
The 34-year-old skipped the third match and refused to commit to playing in all of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 matches.
Shakib Al Hasan, the captain, and coach Chandika Hathurusinghe reportedly stressed that only players who were in peak physical condition should be considered for the competition.
Tamim Iqbal complained of injuries following the first ODI against the Black Caps, according to chief selector Minhajul Abedin, who had previously stated that they were aware of his fitness issues.
Tamim Iqbal has long been concerned about an injury, as we are aware. Prior to the New Zealand series, he battled it and returned to fitness. However, he complained of an injury once more after the opening game, he stated.
Following his exclusion from the competition, Tamim Iqbal launched a rant against the management and selectors. The opening batter claimed in a video that they wanted to choose him despite his struggles with a back injury, but after being advised to bat lower in the order, they disagreed.

“You need to comprehend the mindset from which I’m approaching this. After a time, I played well (against New Zealand), and I was pleased with it. These kinds of words, though, were suddenly beyond my capacity to handle.
The hitter claimed that for the last 17 years, he had been an opening batter and that he did not want to switch positions.
“I have no prior experience batting at positions three and four. I definitely didn’t handle it well. I had the impression that I was being driven into several situations, as if things were going well so why not try something different [to annoy him]? That’s how I was really feeling.
