Watch: Angelo Mathews' 'Timed Out' Controversy Revisited With Bangladesh Star's 'Dig' At Rivals During T20I

During the ODI World Cup 2023, a dismissal of Sri Lanka's Angelo mathews snowballed into a major controversy. The fashion in which the former Sri Lanka skipper was dismissed was the reason behind it.

Veteran Bangladesh Batter Tamim Iqbal Left Out Of Central Contract List

Veteran Bangladesh batter Tamim Iqbal has been left out of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) central contract list for the year 2024. The BCB announced the contracts on Monday and former captain was one of the biggest omissions in Bangladesh cricket governing body's central contract list for 2024. Tamim had a turbulent 2023 after announcing his retirement in the lead-up to the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, changing his mind in less than a day, and then resigning as captain two months before the big event. In addition to Tamim, the individuals on the central contracts list that are not included include Ebadot, Afif, and Mosaddek Hossain. Towhid Hridoy, Tanzim Hasan, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Naeem Hasan, and Nurul Hasan are some of the newcomers for 2024. The newly-appointed captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, received an all-format deal, along with Shoriful Islam.

Left-arm spinner Taijul played the last of his two T20Is in 2019. Opening duo Anamul Haque and Mohammad Naim also returned to the squad on the back of a strong showing in the BPL.

Tamim Iqbal Left Out Of BCB's Central Contracts List

Out-of-favour Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal has been excluded from the BCB's central contracts list for 2024, putting a question mark on the veteran cricketer's international future. Former captain Tamim, who had retired from international cricket in July last year, had reversed his decision within 24 hours after Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asked him to continue. Tamim's decision to quit the game was because of his worsening relationship with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan, who had questioned the left-handed batter's professionalism.
