Bangladesh’s former cricketer Nafees Iqbal had been with the national side as team manager recently. He detailed in a Facebook post why he left the Bangladesh dressing room during the third ODI between Bangladesh and New Zealand at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. Nafees said that he had maintained all the protocols before leaving the dressing room in the middle of the match.

A day after being excluded from the World Cup squad on fitness grounds, Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal said that a nasty game, not injury concerns, played a key role in his last-minute omission.

Former ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal revealed he opted out of the World Cup due to unfair treatment that he received from a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official.

The Tigers are scheduled to fly out for India at 4:00pm.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced its ICC World Cup squad last night, excluding Tamim Iqbal following much drama involving the experienced opener. 

Following a night full of drama and rumors, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Tuesday announced a 15-member squad, to be led by Shakib Al Hasan and excluding opener Tamim Iqbal, for the upcoming World Cup in India.
