Tamim Iqbal Khan (Bengali: তামিম ইকবাল খান; born 20 March 1989), more commonly known as Tamim Iqbal, is a Bangladeshi cricketer[2] and commentator[3] from Chittagong who was captain of the national team in ODI matches from 2020 to 2023. Considered among one of the greatest Bangladeshi batters,[4] he is the first Bangladeshi to score a century in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in the 2016 edition, being 103* the highest score made by a Bangladeshi at any T20 World Cup tournament.
Tamim made his ODI debut in 2007 and played his first Test match the following year. He scored his first century against Ireland. He is the only Bangladeshi batsman to score a century against the England cricket team at Lord's Stadium. He served as vice-captain of the national side between December 2010 and September 2011. In March 2021, Tamim became the first Bangladeshi player to score 50 ODI half-centuries.[5] He scored more than 15000 runs in his whole international career, which is the highest among any other Bangladeshi batsman to date.[6] Tamim is also Bangladesh's highest century maker in international matches with 25 centuries, combining all forms of cricket.[7]
In 2011 he was named one of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack's four Cricketers of the Year, and Wisden's Test Player of the Year, becoming just the second Bangladeshi player to be awarded the accolade. He was the highest run scorer in 2016 T20 WC (295). He is the only Bangladeshi cricketer to score centuries in all three game formats. He is the only player to score four consecutive half-centuries in the Asia Cup. He is the only player to score at least two centuries for three times in a 3 match ODI series. He also holds the record for scoring the most hundreds in One Day International cricket from Bangladesh.[8] In July 2022, he announced his retirement from Twenty20 International cricket.[9] On 6 July 2023, he took retirement from all sorts of international cricket.[10] However, on the next day, he astonishingly reversed his retirement decision following a meeting that included BCB president Nazmul Hassan, Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and former Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza, and instead opted to take some rest before continuing to play.[11]
Tamim stepped down as the ODI captain on 3 August 2023, after being ruled out of the Asia Cup due to complications arising from a long-standing back injury.[12] He began his career as an international commentator during the second session of the second Test match between Bangladesh and New Zealand held at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur, Dhaka in December 2023.[13]
