Opener Tamim Iqbal is going to receive a cautionary letter from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for showing indecent behaviour against a board decision.
The young batsman had vehemently reacted when he learned that he has to sit in the economy class for the Australia trip and had been demanding for business class. The dashing left-hander reportedly tore the visa form in front of a BCB employee but later, he agreed to go as per the board’s arrangements.
“The cricket operations committee has been asked to take proper action on this matter. We can’t overlook it because the incident tarnished the board’s image even abroad. We can’t breach the code of conduct,” said BCB’s media committee chairman Jalal Yunus yesterday.
BCB has decided to send Tamim to Australia for check-up on his injured hand that took place during an ODI in Chittagong against India on November 5 last year. The board took the decision as the dashing left-hander had been experiencing lingering pain on an old injury.
Tamim is likely to fly for Australia on August 31.
