If everything goes well, then the end of the Bangladesh innings is supposed to be seen by 1,200 spectators at the Sher Bangla National Stadium. But Bangladesh was all out long before that. New Zealand's innings started then.
Even if the eyes are on the match, the Facebook page of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, which was on everyone's mind, can't be said anymore. A lot of speculation is about to end then. Bangladesh's World Cup team was supposed to be announced! But what BCB did then can be called 'anti-climax'. The announcement came on that Facebook page, not at 5.45 as previously announced, the team will be announced after the ongoing Bangladesh- New Zealand match. The ongoing speculation was prolonged a little more.
All the speculation started in the previous evening. According to media reports, Captain Shakib Al Hasan is uncomfortable with the team. If necessary, he wanted to give up the captaincy of the World Cup. After that, the meeting between Coach Chandika Hathurusinghe and captain Shakib at the residence of board president Nazmul Hasan Papon added fuel to the fire.
After that discussion, now the news is that Bangladesh is going to the World Cup without Tamim Iqbal. A BCB source confirmed this to Barta24. Who will join the team instead will be known after the announcement of the team.
Meanwhile, before Tamim's absence from the team was officially announced, another incident happened in the team. Team manager Nafees Iqbal also left the team, just as the team was playing a match against New Zealand.
