Report: Soheyl Imran. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Ad-hoc Committee Chairman Tamim Iqbal says that when the T20 World Cup issue happened, I was the first to say that even though the previous management of BCB had handled the issue, it was not true.

Tamim Iqbal while giving an interview to the Indian media said that the ICC showed flexibility, there is a way for a solution, we wanted to find a solution, I liked all this.

He said that there is no problem between the Indian board and BCB, but in the current situation the important ones are not sitting together. I have played a lot of cricket with Indian board president Mithan Minhas.

BCB president Tamim Iqbal said, whenever the Indian team comes, the stadiums will be full, the series between Bangladesh and India will be very good, now there is no problem, there is no security problem, there has never been any threat to the Indian team.

Tamim Iqbal did not comment on Pakistan’s unilateral boycott of the World Cup and said that I was not in the group so I cannot comment, whatever it is, we missed the opportunity to play the World Cup.

He said that if we let the World Cup pass without dialogue, the players of this World team may not get the opportunity to play the World Cup again.

Tamim Iqbal recalled that in 1996-1997, he fought a great battle to win the ICC trophy against Kenya to become the World Cup champion.

It is worth recalling that in the ICCT World Twenty20, Bangladesh refused to travel to India due to security concerns and asked the ICC to hold all their matches at a neutral venue.

Instead of talking to Bangladesh, the ICC excluded Bangladesh from the event and included Scotland.

It should be noted that the Indian Cricket Board showed a narrow stance on the deterioration of diplomatic relations between India and Bangladesh and released Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL due to the pressure of extremist Hindus and after that the whole issue came to light.
