Tamim unlikely in Dhaka Platoon’s next BBPL match
DHAKA, Dec 16, 2019 (BSS)- Opener Tamim Iqbal is highly unlikely to play
the Dhaka Platoon’s first match in the Chattogram phase of Bangabandhu
Bangladesh Premier League (BBPL) due to suffering from a viral fever.
Tamim didn’t travel with the team due to the fever when his side left
Dhaka for the port city.
“Tamim is having viral fever and he is not going to Chattogram with the
team,” the BCB chief physician Dr Debashish Chowdhury said here today.
“He will be staying in the hospital and we can only tell you about his
updates after assessing his condition tomorrow,” he said.
All the teams are currently staying in the port city to prepare for the
Chattogram phase of the tournament.
Dhaka Platoon will begin its Chattogram phase of BBPL by taking on
Chattogram Challengers on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Tamim also sustained groin injury during the match against
Sylhet Thunder but according to Dhaka Platoon head coach Mohammad Salahuddin,
they are not worried about it as the injury did not appear to be very
serious.
“I don’t think the groin injury is very serious,” Salahuddin said.
“He did not travel with the team as he was having severe fever and we can
only have a clear picture about him after getting the medical report in our
hand,” he said.
Though Tamim made just five runs in the first match of the BBPL against
Rajshahi Royals the left-handed opener shrugged off his prolonged lean patch
with a dazzling 74 runs knock against Cumilla Warriors.
He followed that with 28 ball-31 against Sylhet Thunder. Even though he
failed to hit half-century, there is indication that he is currently in good
touch.
