However, two of Tamim Iqbal’s mentors, the former One-Day International captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and Nazmul Abedeen Fahim, talked about the most important part of Tamim’s return, which is to come back with motive and be in full fitness. This is despite the fact that there are a lot of question marks regarding Tamim Iqbal’s return to the team following his unretirement.
Tamim had left for the United Kingdom on Tuesday and was scheduled to meet with physicians there while he was there. Accompanying Tamim was the head physician for the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), Debashish Chowdhury. Prior to his trip to the United Kingdom, he had already established his itinerary and participated in at least three to four online meetings with medical professionals.
According to sources from the BCB, he is in possession of a few MRI results, and more scans will be performed in England.
Tamim had originally planned to retire, but the involvement of Bangladesh’s prime minister convinced him to change his mind. Tamim has also proposed that Mashrafe Bin Mortaza serve as the team’s mentor during the ODI World Cup, which would be held in India in 2023. However, at this time, Mashrafe did not think it would be beneficial for him to have a mentor given the conditions that now existed.
What are the benefits of having a mentor? Can someone inform me? I’m not sure why he [Tamim] posed that question. I have no idea what a mentor is supposed to do. When a circumstance [a demand for the team] like that arises, then it will be possible to say anything. Yesterday, when attending a program put on by a university, Mashrafe said that he did not have a solution for the question “at this time.”
He went on to clarify that there would be no objections coming from the Mashrafe camp in the event that the Prime Minister requests him to do so. However, at this point in the drama of Tamim’s retirement, the primary problem he faces is not the reason why the athlete decided to retire in the first place. Instead, what he wanted was for Tamim to live up to his half of the deal in terms of fitness and performance.
“I don’t know the specifics [of what took place]. I didn’t get much information from him. Seeing Tamim in such a precarious position made me feel even worse.
“I believe that Tamim should make his comeback at one hundred percent of his previous fitness. We shall not hold out any expectation that he will be considering who is on his side and who is not. “At that point, we will be under the impression that he is a performer who is going to perform, and consequently, everything will be on his side,” said Mashrafe.
Tamim has been a member of the national squad for a significant amount of time, making the 2018 World Cup an incredible chance for him. Fahim, an experienced coach who is towards the end of his career, is of the opinion that the all of his attention should be directed upon making the most of what is most likely to be his last participation in the showcase competition.
Since the World Cup is such a momentous event, it is only natural that he would be motivated to provide his best performance. According to what the president of the BCB stated, he is still the captain. If there had been criticism leveled against him, the most effective way for him to respond to such criticism would be for him to perform better. That is within his capabilities. If he diverts his attention away from the current problem, it will leave him more susceptible to attack.
Right now, the most important thing is for him to avoid being hurt so that he may participate in the game. The greatest sense of accomplishment comes from successfully rebutting criticism with one’s own performances. “Another thing is to play well because he may not have that opportunity again, so it has to be seen from the view that it’s the best opportunity of his life,” Fahim said yesterday to The Daily Star. “It has to be seen from the view that it’s the best opportunity of his life.”
“There are a lot of people who believe in him and want him to succeed, but he can’t draw his strength from other people; he has to find it within himself.” There are both long-term and short-term treatments for injuries, and it’s possible that he’ll talk to the physicians about the short-term treatments while keeping the World Cup in mind. The question that has to be answered today is how much attention he can give to improving his physical health.
