Tamim Iqbal in Everest Premier League
Tamim Iqbal has resumed training after nursing a knee injury for two months. The left-handed batsman has received the No Objection Certificate from the Bangladesh Cricket Board to participate in the 2021 edition of the Everest Premier League in Nepal from September 25.
Tamim will be representing the Bhairahawa
Gladiators.
Tamim sustained an injury to his right knee earlier this year during the Test series in Sri Lanka. The injury aggravated after the ODI series against the Islanders at home, followed by the Bangabandhu Dhaka Premier Division T20 League.
The seasoned campaigner had missed the T20I series against Zimbabwe, Australia and New Zealand due to the injury. He even withdrew from the T20 World Cup. “Game time is the biggest reason. I haven’t been playing this format for a long time. I don’t think it would be fair on those players who have played in the last 15-16 T20 matches that I haven’t played,” he had said in a video message.
