Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal had talked about ending the current tension in cricket relations between India and Bangladesh through talks, after which Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Director M Nazmul Islam mocked him by calling him an “Indian agent”. BCB and BCCI are at loggerheads for the last few days. On the instructions of BCCI, KKR had released Mustafizur Rahman from IPL, after which Bangladesh banned the telecast of IPL and has demanded from ICC that their T20 World Cup matches should be shifted to Sri Lanka as they do not want to go to India.

According to The Daily Star, Tamim had said, “Since I am not associated with the BCB, like any common man, I am also getting to know about it from the media only. But I am sure that people who are looking into these matters will have more information. I should not comment suddenly. However, I am saying that before taking any such decision, the interest of Bangladesh cricket, future and everything else should be considered. It would be better if something is resolved through talks. Nothing can happen.”

Tamim Iqbal had clearly said that 90 to 95 percent of the finance for Bangladesh cricket comes from ICC, hence think before making any statement in public because then it becomes difficult to retreat.
