Shakib, Tamim Sat With BCB Special Committee 

Bangladesh skipper Shakib al Hasan and former ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal sat with a special committee formed by Bangladesh Cricket Board on Monday.

BCB formed special committee after their disappointing performance in the last World Cup that is considered as their worst World Cup campaign since 2003 as they could win only two out of their nine league matches and finished eighth in the 10-team tournament in India. Bangladesh won three matches in each of the four World Cups, in 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2019.

The board had formed the three-member panel, constituted by BCB directors Enayet Hossain Siraj (convenor), Mahbubul Anam (member) and Akram Khan (member), on November 29.

E Siraj, the convenor of the committee, indicated that the media department of BCB would host a press conference to unveil the results. 

“These matters are not something that can be divulged to the media at this moment,” Enayet Hossain stated during a media interaction in Sylhet, where Shakib and Tamim are busy for their teams in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). 

“Because this has been handled very confidentially. When the time is right, the information will be shared collectively, and the public will also be informed. We have held separate discussions with both Shakib and Tamim,” he added.

Both Shakib and Tamim are currently in Sylhet to play in the Bangladesh Premier League, country’s lone franchise-based T20 tournament, for their respective franchises.Earlier, Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha, skipper Shakib al Hasan and team director Khaled Mahmud had presented their assessment report of the World Cup.
