Tamim Iqbal feels satisfied with the European tour - Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751, Scotland and Netherland.
The 23-year-old batsman feels that the tour has helped the team to develop a winning habit despite two unexpected setbacks when they were defeated by Scotland and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Netherlands-c753. The batsman was happy to see the progress made by the team and was also pleased
with his personal efforts.
Tamim was the highest scorer for his team with 215 runs in 6 matches, including two half-centuries. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mashrafe-Mortaza-c1917 (8).
"The tour had more positives than negatives. We won the first game against Ireland easily but in the next two we fought back from dire situations,” Tamim told ESPNcricinfo.
"I thought we showed a lot of positive signs. We wanted to get into the habit of winning, so I think the tour has given us that. All in all, there were improvements but there's still a long way to go."
Bangladesh had a great start to their tour by sweeping Ireland 3-0, which saw them become the number four ranked T20 team ahead of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755.
However, the Bengalis were shocked in the One-Off game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Berrington-c47840.
Tamim responded well in the next game against the Dutch and made an unbeaten 69 which saw his side record an easy 8-wicket victory however, the tour ended on a disappointing note for the visitors, who then lost the last match in a nail-biting finish.
"Personally, I feel happy after the tour," Tamim said. "I thought it was a decent effort in conditions which I wouldn't call ideal for Twenty20 cricket."
The team will have a lengthy break ahead of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Premier League (SLPL), which will begin from August 11.
