Bangladesh ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal has opined that the T20I side would have been better with the experienced duo of Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim in it, for the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.
Rahim retired from the format last month following Bangladesh's group-stage exit from the Asia Cup while former skipper Mahmudullah was dumped from the set-up following a prolonged lean patch in the shortest format of the game.
Speaking to CricBuzz, Tamim Iqbal questioned the selectors' decision to drop two senior pros before such a big event despite carrying them for the entire year.
Here's what Tamim Iqbal said:
"I told you earlier if Mushfiqur (Rahim), Riyad (Mahmudullah) were there in this big stage like the World Cup, then I think it would have been better. Since you carried such senior cricketers for the whole year, then why (exclude) them just before the World Cup."
