Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal came up with a clue that the
four senior players, including him, may retire from the ODI format after the
2023 Men's 50-over World Cup in India.
Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad are
the other three players, who alongside Tamim built a 'fabulous four' club,
which made Bangladesh a top team in the ODI format.
Tamim's comment came after the second ODI against West
Indies, which Bangladesh won by nine wickets at Providence Stadium in Guyana on
Wednesday.
"The 2023 World Cup probably will be one of the biggest
events for all of us, especially four of us who will most likely end up there
and we have to make the best possible combination and best possible team going
forward," Tamim said.
Bangladesh won the rain-curtailed first match by six wickets
and having won the second ODI, they not only sealed the three-match ODI series
but also extended their winning streak to the West Indies to 10 straight
matches.
Also it is Bangladesh's fifth consecutive bilateral ODI
series win - having beaten Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and South Africa
before this series win. The series victory is also Bangladesh fourth straight
against the Caribbean side.
The series win in their favoured format came as a soothing
pleasure for the side after being whitewashed in two-match Test series and
losing the three- match T20 International series by 2-0 (first game ended in a
no result due to rain).
"At the beginning of the series I told this in one
format we are really proud and played really well. And we lost the Test and T20
series, the dressing room wasn't the happiest. Everyone wanted to win. This is
really good, there are a lot of areas we need to tick boxes," Tamim
remarked.
"Even in the Test matches whatever runs I got I was
batting well, what wrong I did was I didn't make it big. I take it very simple,
I just go with the rhythm
and see what the situation is, for now it's going well for me."
Tamim showered left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed with enormous
praise, saying that he bowled intelligently in a condition suited to his skill.
Nasum took 3-19 in 10 overs to be adjudged man of the match.
"Nasum is brilliant. When Shakib is here, he doesn't
get a game, I think he bowled unbelievably, used the conditions very
well."
