Tamim Iqbal is looking to come back in competitive cricket following a long break from the sport due to his injury. He had to stay away from cricket for this long time because of the side strain that he faced while playing against Pakistan in a home series.
The Bangladesh ODI captain had to miss out playing the 2021 T20 World Cup but he was ready to return in the Everest Premier League. Unfortunately, he had to postpone his return to cricket as he once again suffered an injury blow with a fracture to his left thumb. He again decided to return to the National Cricket League but could not as his scan showed a new fracture on his injured thumb. In addition, he missed the New Zealand tour too as he was recovering at that moment.
The left-handed batter practiced and batted in the nets for half an hour on Monday after 6th October. He played for about half an hour against the spinners and also had throwdowns in the nets at the BCB indoor facility. Tamim will slowly work on increasing his training's intensity and will look into being a part of the BCL one-day tournament.
Tamim Iqbal told Cricbuzz, "I am batting after a while and there is some pain but with time it will heal totally and I have to go through it. Later I will increase the intensity of my training like batting against pace bowlers and all that, and at that point, I can understand where I stand. Let's see if I can take part in the BCL one-day tournament."
BCB chief physician Debashish Chowdhury on the situation:
BCB chief physician Debashish Chowdhury said, "This is part of his rehabilitation program. He was expected to bat from November 20 and he did that. He is playing against slow bowlers and later his intensity will increase. We are expecting him to take part in the BCL one-day format."
Mustafizur Rahman is also on his way to return to competitive cricket after recovering from the side strain he faced during a 3-match series against Pakistan. Debashish Chowdhury also revealed that Mustafizur is bowling with 50 percent intensity. Debashish added, "Mustafizur is bowling with 50 percent intensity. He is bowling with a short run-up and a lesser pace. He will do gym sessions and increase his intensity in bowling gradually. At the moment he is not feeling any pain while bowling."

Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal announced his retirement from international cricket in a shocking fashion on Thursday. The announcement came after Bangladesh's defeat vs Afghanistan in the first ODI of their three-match series.
Tamim announced his retirement by saying, "This is the end for me. I have given my best& have tried my best. I am retiring from international cricket at this moment. Yesterday against Afghanistan was my last international game. I am retiring from international cricket effective right now. It was not a sudden decision. I was thinking about the different reasons& don't want to mention themhere. I have spoken to my family members about it. They also think this is the right time for me to retire from international cricket."
Then what happened so suddenly that the 34-year-old changed his decision to not retire? According to Dhaka Tribune, the BCB confirmed that he has withdrawn his decision after an intervention from Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Tamim Iqbal has led his side in 37 ODIs, in which Bangladesh won 21. His win percentage of 60 is the highest among all 15 captains who ever led the national side, including the most-capped Mashrafe Mortaza, whose win percentage was 58.13. Tamim Iqbal announced his decision to quit T20Is on June 2022. He is Bangladesh's highest runscorer with 8313 runs from 241 ODIs at an average of 36.62, including 14 centuries and 56 fifties.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Thursday announced the 16-member squad for the three-match ODI series against India starting on December 4 at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
Tamim Iqbal will lead the team in this series as the regular ODI captain. He was out of the national team for a long time as the team was busy playing Asia Cup and T20 World Cup.
Mahmudullah Riyad and Mushfiqur Rahim are all set to return to the national team with this series. They were also out of the Bangladesh setup when the World Cup took place in Australia. While Mahmudullah was overlooked by the selectors, Mushfiqur retired from the T20 format.
Anamul Haque Bijoy is also on the ODI team. He hit two fifties in his last three ODIs against Zimbabwe. He was also part of the T20 team in the Zimbabwe series, but he was axed from the World Cup squad.
Mosaddek Hossain, Taijul Islam, and Shoriful Islam were overlooked for this series. They were part of the Bangladesh team in the last ODI series against Zimbabwe.
To replace them, Bangladesh included Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib was out of the Zimbabwe series due to personal reasons, Yasir Ali, and Ebadot Hossain Chowdhury.
While the first match of the series is on December 4, the second match is on December 7, and the last match will be played on December 10. The first two matches will take place in Dhaka. However, the last match will be hosted in Chattogram's Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.

Dilshan struck 3 half-centuries in the competition as well. Dilshan scored a sensational 96* in the semifinal against the West Indies, helping his side to beat their opposition by 57 runs. Riding on Dilshan's exploits, the Sri Lankan side finished as the runners-up of the event.

It takes a batter to bat at least 50% of the team's balls in that innings, and most importantly, it should come with a better strike rate. You don't see batters taking their time to settle in T20s, which will affect the team's winning chances. In this article, we will take a look at the top 10 highest individual scores in T20 World Cup.
Chris Gayle is the only player to score two centuries in T20 World Cups. He also scored two 80+ scores (98 against India and 88 against Australia) in the tournament. Mahela Jayawardene is the other player to score four 80+ runs in the tournament, including a hundred.
Alex Hales' 116 against Sri Lanka in 2012 is the highest score by a batsman while chasing in T20 World Cup matches. Chris Gayle's 11 sixes in his 100* against England in Mumbai in 2016 is the most number of sixes hit in a T20 WC match.
