Tamim Iqbal Khan (Bengali: তামিম ইকবাল খান; born 20 March 1989), more popularly known as Tamim Iqbal, is a former Bangladeshi cricketer. He is the nephew of former Bangladesh skipper Akram Khan, the current chief selector of the Bangladesh Cricket Board. Tamim is known for his aggressive batting style in the top order and is widely regarded as one of the greatest Bangladeshi batsmen of all time.[3] Iqbal made history as he was the first Bangladeshi in the history of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup to score a century which he did with his 103 not out against Oman in the 2016 tournament. His 103 not out is the highest score made by a Bangladeshi at any T20 World Cup tournaments. Tamim's 128 which he made against England in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy is also the highest score made by a Bangladeshi at any tournaments.
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.[4] He scored more than 15000 runs in his whole international career, which is the highest among any other Bangladeshi batsman to date.[5] Tamim is also Bangladesh's highest century maker in international matches with 25 centuries, combining all forms of cricket.[6]
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.[7] In July 2022, he announced his retirement from Twenty20 International cricket.[8] On 6th July 2023, he took retirement from all sorts of international cricket because of Chandika Hathurusingha.[9]
Tamim, a young talent of Bangladesh, who played in the 2006 U-19 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka, was picked for the 2007 World Cup and played against India in the group stage of the competition, scoring 51 runs from 53 deliveries, helping his team to win the match. In December that year, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) granted Tamim a one-year grade C contract, one of 22 central contracts held by the Board at the time. Although he was still in the lowest tier of central contracts, it was an extension of his previous contract, which lasted six months.[53]
On Bangladesh's tour of the West Indies in July and August 2009, Tamim scored his maiden Test century against a West Indies team weakened by disputes between players and administrators, which resulted in seven players making their Test debuts in the match.[54] His effort with the bat helped Bangladesh to a historic victory - their first against the West Indies in Tests, their first overseas Test victory and only their second Test win.[55][56] He ended up with 128, and was named as the Man of the Match for his performance (he also scored 33 in the first innings). Speaking of his innings, Tamim said "It was a flat wicket, and if you concentrate hard and look to bat straight, it's a good track to score on. I'm just 20 and have played only 11 Tests, I think there are a lot more [innings like these] to come".[57][58] Bangladesh went on to win the second Test, and in the process secured their first overseas series win.[59] Iqbal was Bangladesh's leading run-scorer in the series with 197 runs.[60]
Bangladesh's coach, Jamie Siddons, opined in January 2010 that Tamim had "the makings of a world-class opener".[61]
