Najmul Hossain Shanto, the Bangladesh skipper, has turned into the first significant voice in quite a while to request Tamim Iqbal's presence in the public set-up, saying "in the event that he is fit, I need him accessible for all configurations".

They had at first plunked down to talk in the review region in one of the changing areas, however seeing such a large number of cameras floating around, they got out of view. "I had a pleasant, long adda [chat] with Tamim bhai. We by and large talked about cricket. I got some information about his prosperity. We talked about our opinion on captaincy," Shanto said on Tuesday subsequent to declining to open up on Monday. "He has requested a touch of time. He will thoroughly consider it.

"The group is getting along admirably, having won a significant number of the new T20I series. We most certainly need to play on better wickets, particularly those that were utilized in the T20I series against Sri Lanka," Shanto said. "We will clearly attempt to recreate the wickets we will get in America. In spite of the fact that I don't figure it will be simple. We certainly need to complete well at home, so this series [against Zimbabwe] is vital. "We have no T20 subject matter experts so we play collectively. At the point when that's what we do, we generally win. In general, our speed bowling unit has worked on a great deal. We have strength in twist and batting as well. We win when everybody contributes."
