Bangladesh Cricket Board president Faruque Ahmed recently came forward and hinted towards the inclusion of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan in Bangladesh’s squad for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. The BCB’s selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain also talked about how he had no idea about the futures of Tamim and Shakib.
It is worth noting that Shakib Al Hasan had some political issues that barred him from entering the country. Furthermore, his unconventional bowling action also came under the spotlight. The same forced him to get a clearance again in order to bowl in international cricket and in other domestic competitions.
On the other hand, Tamim Iqbal has already begun his preparation for the new season of the BPL, and with recent good performances, the veteran has made a good case for his inclusion in the CT squad.

“If any player does not retire then he is definitely available for selection (for the Champions Trophy). Shakib issue is a totally different issue and there is nothing new. In the last West Indies tour he was not in a mental state to play and now Shakib will say whether he will play BPL or what is his state and I cannot say anything because I don’t have any update regarding him,” Faruque Ahmed was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
“As far as Tamim is concerned look what the chief selector said. There is no policy and if a player is yet to retire and the selectors think he is required for the team in that case the selection committee will have to talk with that particular player,” he added.
Furthermore, the president also talked about how they will be making a decision on the leadership of Najmul Hossain Shanto after he completes his tenure in December.
“We have just completed a series and there is nothing ahead of Champions Trophy as the boys will play BPL so we have time in our hand. We have not discussed anything in this regard. We will discuss when the time comes,” Faruque said.
