Tamim out of Bangladesh squad, Mortaza returns-Breaking News
The Bangladesh Cricket Board has announced its squad for the Asia Cup to be played in Bangladesh. Among the important changes are the demotion of batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mashrafe-Mortaza-c1917 in the team.
The Bangladesh cricket officials have made a number of important changes in the squad that played against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anamul-Haque-c44160 have been included in the final group.
Tamim was included in the final list prepared by the selectors but was dropped reportedly by the president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board , Mustafa Kamal himself, according to chief selector http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Akram-Khan-c42577 . It seems like lady luck has not been on Tamim’s side
as he was dropped at the penultimate moment.
Off late, Tamim has not been able to play consistently because of injuries. During the Bangladesh Premier League, he was able to play only two games, before being strangulated by a groin injury. His lack of active participation at the national and international
level might have influenced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mustafa-Kamal-c78122’s decision to reduce his status to a reserve player.
Tamim was dubbed as a future cricketing star who would play an important role as an opening batsmen for Bangladesh. With his aggressive style and intelligent shot selection, he has always been expected to provide a solid opening start for his team. With
109 ODI matches under his belt, Tamim has scored 3 centuries and 19 fifties with a nominal average of 28.84 only.
Mortaza’s inclusion in the final list appears to be underpinned by his impressive performance in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 Premier League recently. As captain of the Dhaka Gladiators, he steered his side to clinch the winner’s title at the inaugural season of the BPL.
His performance in BPL must have been the deciding factor that allowed Mortaza to win back the selectors confidence. His ODI career overall does not boost of any impressive figures except in the bowling arena. He has taken 4 wickets five times, while also
claiming 5 wickets once in his ODI career.
The Bangladesh team has the advantage of having an all rounder in the form of Mortaza on their side. However, Tamim’s poor run of form has haunted him once again to deny him a place in the national side.
