Before the England series, Tamim Iqbal got injured

In the ninth season of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), Tamim Iqbal is playing for Khulna Tigers. The team did not get the expected results in the tournament. Khulna could not go to the play-offs. There, the injury of an important player like Tamim is increasing the team’s worries. Tamim has a groin injury. That’s why the star Bangladesh opener will not be able to play in their last two matches in the group stage.

It is known that Tamim’s injury is not new. He is feeling pain again from a long-standing knee injury. Due to the same injury, he missed the last ODI and Test series against India at home. After returning to the field with the BPL, Tamim could not bat very well. Although he has seen several half-centuries in the tournament. But there was a lack of continuity in his bat.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) physios are taking care of Tamim’s injury. Physio of Khulna team Amanullah Moon said, “Bayezidul Islam and Julien Calefato have reviewed Tamim’s report. They will meet with me (Moon) again. The three of us will decide which one will be good and which one will be bad. We would like to think whether Tamim can be played as much as possible. The rest will be decided based on his condition. “

Meanwhile, the England team is coming to visit Bangladesh at the end of February. The bilateral series will start from March 1. The two teams will play three ODI and T20 matches each in the tour. However, when regular ODI captain Tamim is injured, BCB will not want to take any risk with him. Because of this, the left-handed batsman is on a mission to recover under the BCB physios, despite not being able to play in the BPL.

The three-match ODI series against England is part of the ICC Super League. Moreover, since the game is at Bangladesh’s home ground, there is no alternative of winning. And to win the series against the English, Bangladesh needs both Tamim’s leadership and batting. That is why the BCB has focused on keeping the star cricketer fit by not playing regular matches in the BPL.
