Bangladesh ODI captain Tamim Iqbal returned to the country from the UK on Monday, having undergone treatment for his back pain. The cricketer will begin his rehabilitation process following a week’s rest.

Former Bangladesh ODI captain, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, said that he was upset seeing Tamim Iqbal feel weak during the recent retirement saga.

When you can properly maintain these aspects, there are greater chances of success," said Naim
