Dhaka, Aug 4 (Ians) With just over two months left for the 2023 Men’s Odi World Cup, veteran left-handed opener Tamim Iqbal has decided to step down as Bangladesh’s Odi captain and will miss the upcoming Asia Cup due to a back injury.
Tamim had earlier announced his retirement from international cricket on July 6 but reversed the decision following a meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. His recent decision means that Bangladesh will have a new Odi captain ahead of the mega event happening in India from October 5 to November 19.
Though Tamim will be unavailable for the Asia Cup to be hosted by Pakistan and Sri Lanka from August 31 to September 17, he wishes to be fit for the Odi series against New Zealand at home starting from September 21 before the World Cup arrives.
“I believe injury is an issue. I took an injection (on July 28), but it is like a hit or miss.

Dhaka, Dec 4 (Ians) A sculpture of Madhusudan Dey, who was brutally killed by the Pakistan Army in March 1971, was partially damaged by some unknown miscreants in the Dhaka University (Du) campus premises.
The incident took place on Wednesday night.
Arun Kumar Dey, youngest son of Madhusudan Dey and current operator of Madhur Canteen, said: "I was busy inside the canteen. At around 7.45 p.m., one of my staff suddenly noticed the partial damage of the sculpture and told me about it.
"I immediately informed the matter to Dhaka University proctor and officer-in-charge of Shahbagh Police Station. They visited the spot and took measure to repair it."
The left ear of the sculpture, placed in front of the iconic cafeteria named after him on the Du campus, was found broken and it was repaired at midnight.
Madhusudan Dey, who was fondly called as 'Madhu da', was far more than a mere cafeteria operator.
