Bangladesh batsman Tamim Iqbal said that he and the other players will take time to heal following the deadly attack on two mosques at Christchurch with the Tigers making a narrow escape while going for their Jumma prayers yesterday.
The Bangladesh cricket team departed from New Zealand this morning at 5am BDT (12pm local).
It is a telling statistic that even in Bangladesh's flying start to the Asia Cup on September 15, when Mushfiqur Rahim's sublime 144 authored a 137-run hammering of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh left three balls unused in their total of 261.
Bangladesh pulled off an impressive 137-run win over Asian rival Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup opener on September 15, capped by impressive performances from Mushfiqur Rahim, Mithun Ali, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and others.
Tamim Iqbal suffered a painful fracture to his left wrist while batting against Sri Lanka in Bangladesh's Asia Cup opener on Saturday and will most likely miss the rest of the Asia Cup. With Tamim being the only quality opener in Bangladesh and his opening partner a long-standing problem for the team, it would indeed be a big blow, but the team management are not thinking of flying in a replacement at this point.
Tamim Iqbal’s injury will be assessed after his MRI scan report arrives, BCB physio Dr. Debashish Chowdhury informs.
