“That is a great distance away now, 2010,” Tamim informed the UK’s Each day Mirror. “However these innings I’ll all the time keep in mind. Scoring 100 in England is just not simple, particularly for a workforce like us. The recollections are one thing that, after I’ve completed cricket, I’ll take perpetually in my coronary heart.
“These two are actually near my coronary heart, however an important factor is you guys want to ask us extra typically. That was the final time we performed there, which is unlucky. Bangladesh is in a state of affairs now the place we should always tour Australia and England extra typically and I do not know why that does not occur.
“It has been 13 years now and we’ve not been again to England. It is unhappy truly that we’ve not toured once more after doing so properly, particularly in white-ball cricket.”

“In the event you keep in mind the 2017 Champions Trophy, we truly outnumbered the English followers… no matter format we play, if we get invited to play in England, will probably be a full home.”
Bangladesh are on account of tour England later this yr, however their opponents will likely be Eire. The groups are on account of play three ODIs within the closing fixtures of the ICC’s Tremendous League, that are anticipated to be staged at Chelmsford within the second week of Could. The fixtures haven’t but been confirmed.
