Tamim Iqbal considering to take a gap from cricket after Sri Lanka whitewash: SRI vs BAN Series 2019
Bangladesh interim skipper Tamim Iqbal Khan is considering to take a gap from cricket to come back stronger after whitewashing from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won the series by 3-0 and the way Bangladesh get defeated is really very frustrating for them. This series clearly shows Bangladesh is too much dependant on Shakib Al Hasan. Bangladesh interim captain Tamim Iqbal is also frustrating to watch this and considering to take a gap from cricket to will up his confidence.
Tamim Iqbal considering to take a gap from cricket after Sri Lanka whitewash: SRI vs BAN Series 2019
Tamim Iqbal isn’t in form since the ICC World Cup 2019. He only managed to score a fifty in that tournament. Everybody expected things gonna change for him in Sri Lanka tour. But, he is equally frustrating in this series too. His captaincy was also very weak. Now, he is thinking about to take a rest to clear up his head.
It’s true, I’m not playing well since the World Cup. I’m really frustrated to watch my condition. I’ve been playing here for 12 years and there are many players who are also playing for their nation for long. It’s really disappointing to see the way we performed. Maybe, the time has come for me to take some rest and come back fresh to will up my confidence.
Tamim also talked about a little positivity of Bangladeshi pace bowler Taijul Islam.
Taijul was really good. The way he bowled in the last two matches were very positive. Hope, he will have a better future.
Sri Lankan skipper Dimuth Karunaratne praised his team and said he is happy for the overall performance of his team.
We were really great and our youngsters also showed their caliber. I hope they will continue to do this in the future. It was really an amazing series for us which will add our confidence.
He also looking forward to New Zealand series and thank Tamim Iqbal for coming here.
Now, we are looking forward to our upcoming series against New Zealand. We are very excited about it. Hope, we can do well there. I also like to thank Tamim Iqbal and his team for coming here.
Man of the Series Angelo Mathews also looking forward to the series vs NZ and thanks to his coach.
I want to thank Kula for his wonderful service to us. He’s been a silent hero. It’s a good feeling that I helped my country. I am looking forward to the NZ series now. Hope, we can do well against them too.
Sri Lanka will start their next tour against New Zealand in the middle of August. Bangladesh should review this series with much pragmatism. Yes, it’s true, they were without their important stars. But, the whitewash from an ODI ranking’s bottom team is never a good thing. The form of their batsmen without Shakib Al Hasan is very worrisome. The bowling and fielding were also worse. They need to start from the scalp!
