After some allegations of rift between senior Bangladeshi duo of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hasan, the former has come out and spoken on the matter.

Hasan fired some serious shots on the relationship between both of them mentioning that the dressing is not healthy at the moment. Moreover, he pointed out that the atmosphere wasn't great previously, but it did improved a bit.

Now, Tamim cleared the air on the matter saying that nothing matters if they are wearing their national jersey. The left-hander openly claimed that there is nothing between him and Shakib as the relation between them is absolutely normal.

"The important thing is when Shakib and I put on the Bangladesh jersey, we are giving our best. And if we are helping each other when we are leading the teams, nothing else matters.

"I can assure you that I always get his help as an ODI captain, and I am always there if needs any suggestions in the Test team. When we bat together, or when we are celebrating his wicket, it's absolutely normal,"

Shakib is currently not with the team as he is with his family in USA, to which Iqbal reckoned that family should be a priority for any person.

"It is definitely important for the whole squad to be together. But I have said it before that family is the most important thing. Family is above everything else."

Bangladesh will lock horns with England in the upcoming ODI series beginning on 1st March in Dhaka.
