Tamim Iqbal has announced his retirement from international cricket. This is the second time he has called time on his career, having previously retired in July 2023 in an emotionally charged press conference, only to reverse the decision within 24 hours after intervention from Bangladesh's then-prime minister Sheikh Hasina.Tamim informed the Bangladesh selectors of his decision in Sylhet on Wednesday. The Gazi Ashraf Hossain-led selection panel asked him to return to the Bangladesh team for the Champions Trophy. Tamim had reportedly told them then that he would stick to his decision to retire, but after a few Bangladesh players, including captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, had requested him to reconsider, he took a day longer."I have been away from international cricket for a long time," he wrote on Facebook. "That distance will remain. My chapter in international cricket is over. I have been thinking about this for a long time. Now that a big event like the Champions Trophy is coming up, I do not want to be the focus of anyone's attention, which could lead to the team losing their focus. Of course, I did not want this to happen before, too."Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto sincerely asked me to return to the team. There were discussions with the selection committee too. I am grateful to them for still considering me in the team. However, I have listened to my own heart."The deadline for announcing the Champions Trophy squads is January 12, and the BCB was willing to wait till the last minute to see if Tamim wants to play. Tamim remained in contention for his domestic form and fitness. He has not played an international game since then but continued to play domestic cricket, including winning the 2024 BPL with the Barishal franchise and finishing as the Player of the Tournament. He did well in the Dhaka Premier League, and then followed it up with more runs in the domestic NCL T20s and this BPL season too, he has been among the runs.Tamim said BCB waiting for his reply was "unnecessary" considering he opted out of central contracts for 2024 to keep himself out of Bangladesh reckoning."I removed myself from the BCB central contract a long time ago because I did not want to return to international cricket," he wrote. "Many have said that I have left the matter hanging. Why would anyone discuss a cricketer who is no longer in BCB's contracted list? I voluntarily stepped down more than a year ago."Even after that, there has been unnecessary discussion. The decision to retire or continue playing is the right of a cricketer or any professional sportsman. I have given myself time. Now I feel that the time has come."Almost 18 months ago, Tamim announced his retirement at a press conference, breaking down a few times. After Tamim made the announcement, Hasina tracked him down, and requested him to come out of retirement the next day. Tamim obliged but then stepped down from ODI captaincy shortly afterwards. Tamim played two ODIs in September 2023 as the Minhajul Abedin-led national selectors were preparing him for the ODI World Cup.The selectors however didn't pick him in the 15-man squad. Tamim then hit out at the BCB, claiming they created roadblocks for him in the lead-up to the squad announcement. Shakib Al Hasan, the captain at the time, even launched a scathing attack on Tamim following the incident, calling him "childish"."What happened before the 2023 World Cup was a big shock for me, as I did not leave the team due to cricketing reasons," Tamim said further in his post. "Even after that, many cricket fans told me that they want to see me back in the national team. I thought about their love."I also have a fan at home. My son has never told me this directly but he has repeatedly told his mother that he wants to see his father play in the national jersey again. I am sorry for disappointing the fans. I have told my son, 'The day you grow up, you will understand your father'."

VK has got more records, but the impact Jos has is unparalleled
This is one sentence in the original ask that really confused me. How do you exactly measure the amount of impact someone has on the game? I don't mean this to be snippy or sarcastic, so apologies if it came off that way. It is a genuine question.
I agree that there is a difference between having records and having impact, because a really impactful innings might not make it to the record books, but the records as a whole do tell us about how skilful and how prolific a player is. It wouldn't exactly be fair to say that the record-holders have had no sort of impact on the game. To give an example, VK's highest score in a T20 match is his 122* against Afghanistan, in the 2022 Asia Cup. But that is hardly his most impactful innings. That laurel would hands down go to his 82* off 53 against Pakistan-- an innings that won't make it among the highest individual T20 scores of all time or any other list like that, but that doesn't mean that it had no impact.
I think VK's impact is something that is magnified only when you compare them with the stats of other players. Take the T20 WC semi final from 2014 as an example. India had to chase 176 against South Africa. VK scored 72 of those runs. The next best score in this match is Rahane's 32. A difference of 40 runs. The 2014 T20 World Cup final. India batted first and made 130/4. VK contributed 77 of those runs. The rest of the team made 47 between them.
Also, the potm and pots awards exist for a reason. They are awarded to a player who made the most outstanding, the most impactful contribution to the team's victory. Sometimes, even a player from the losing team is awarded those prizes because their contributions were so incredibe, so impactful that were those contributions to be taken out of the equation, the team wouldn't even have reached to the stage it did. VK has got the most potm and pott awards in T20s for a reason. It's not because he's scored the most runs, it's because his runs have had the most impact. If the pott awards were given based on who scored the most runs/who took the most wickets, then the Pott award of the 2016 World Cup would have been given to Tamim Iqbal, not VK. The Pott of the 2022 WC would have been VK, not Sam Curran.
I'm not even gonna bring Jos into this. To me, VK is miles ahead of any batsman in T20s.
Also, I'm gonna say it: I'm really annoyed that this discourse is happening when VK just retired. We can argue about who's done more, but VK certainly has done ENOUGH. He ensured India got to the finals and semi-finals of the 2014, 2016, 2022 WCs. We would have crashed out at the group stages if not for him. He scored a vital 76 in this final, his Mohali and MCG innings are superlative and likely not going to be surpassed for a long time. He went out in a blaze of glory, helping India win the World Cup in the last T20 innings he played for his country. The first anon who triggered this debate by saying that Jos had more impact than VK was bang out of line with respect to timing. VK has done so much for his country, he's been prolific and consistent and impactful, and he's given so much to the game of cricket. I wouldn't have contributed to this discourse at all if the comparison was drawn 4 years ago, but it's rancid to try and discredit VK's achievements a day after he announced his retirement. Say "well played mate, congratulations on a great career, appreciate what you've done for your team and the game, you're a great player, but you were a pain in the arse to get out, and the opposition won't miss you on the field!" And once that's done? Move on. People can hate him all they want because he played well against their teams but don't try to deny or devalue the fact that he WAS a great player and one of the, if not the unquestioned best of his times.
(Saying that VK had no impact on T20s reeks of omega erasure tbh. Y'all won't be saying that if he was an alpha. Jos owes his career to VK, being an omega, he wouldn't even have been considered for the england team if VK hadn't debuted before him and gotten the success he did. Jos would still be languishing in Somerset if VK hadn't had the guts to make his debut as an open and out omega, and hadn't had had the skill to bash bowlers around the park and prove that omegas can be good batters too. 😒ðŸ¤ðŸ¤£)
I don’t think anyone is saying VK has had no impact - that would just be silly. He’s clearly rated as one of if not the best white ball batsmen to have ever played the game and his stats do speak for himself.
Please do correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve never heard VK be called a 360 player. 360 players can always find a place to score irrelevant of the field set which instantly makes them have more potential impact in any innings because they’re so hard to defend from. Jos is a 360 player and his potential impact is high. He’s seen as a very destructive player who, when in form, can be the swing of a game whether he’s scoring 30 or 100 (whether that be from momentum or actual runs scored).
The best ask answer to this was the one that’s just been answered: Jos is destructive and there to get momentum on his side, VK is the anchor you want in all the way to the end. Joe is a very similar player to VK in my opinion.
People are also allowed to think who they want is the better player. Yes, VK’s stats say more than enough and anyone calling him bad is just being silly, but if they think Jos is more impactful then fair enough - you your own addition what is the gauge of impact anyway? It differs depending on match circumstance. We’re all allowed our opinions.
Side note, but POTM is only awarded to the winning team - POTT can be awarded to a losing team player (and usually is given to a player from the losing side of a final)

[ad_1] Ask the Bangladesh cricket faithful about their favourite player in the team and the overwhelming odds are that the response would be Shakib Al Hasan.The script at the M. A. Chidambaram in Chennai ahead of Bangladesh’s ICC World Cup 2023 game against New Zealand was no different as a band of green-clad fans, some with a tiger figurine atop their caps, shouted their captain’s name when engaged with the question. Bangladesh cricket has been blessed with four generational stars over the last decade and a half, with Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim and the now-retired Mashrafe Mortaza joining Shakib at the forefront of the team’s zenith. But, with the sheer weight of records he has accumulated, there will be very few counter-arguments on calling Shakib the greatest to don the green and red jersey of the Tigers. Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan celebrates after taking a wicket against England in the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023. | Photo Credit: The Hindu / Emmanual Yogini Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan celebrates after taking a wicket against England in the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023. | Photo Credit: The Hindu / Emmanual Yogini Only Sanath Jayasuriya and Shahid Afridi have matched Shakib’s record of 7000+ runs and 300+ wickets in the history of One Day International (ODI) cricket. Add to that his 4000+ runs and 200+ wickets in Tests and Shakib finds his place among the creme de la creme of international all-rounders in history.He is no slouch in the shortest format either, with 2000+ runs and 140+ wickets in T20Is apart from his exploits in leagues around the globe. Shakib’s importance was brought to the fore again in the match against New Zealand in Chennai, as he built an important stand with Mushfiqur to save Bangladesh’s blushes after being reduced to 56-4 within the 13th over. After a slow and careful start, the southpaw endured a frustrating few deliveries, missing a few cuts and punches outside off stump against the pacers, but he battled on to take Bangladesh past 150 within 30 overs. A strain in the thigh while completing a quick single, possibly due to the heat and humidity at the venue, saw him needing medical attention.RELATED: Mushfiqur Rahim’s rescue act: A glimpse of brilliance in Bangladesh’s loss against New ZealandThe skipper switched gears thereafter, going after the bowling, which eventually led to his dismissal at 40. Shakib – as has been the case throughout his career – complimented a decent batting outing with his bowling prowess. He trapped Devon Conway, a crowd favourite – as he plays for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League – and the tournament’s leading scorer, in front, foxing him with his pace variation. A few off-field altercations and his on-field demeanour have, at times, plagued his image in the cricketing fraternity, with an alleged bust-up with Tamim, just ahead of the World Cup, being the latest controversy surrounding him. But in terms of purely cricket, Shakib has unparallel as an all-rounders in Bangladesh.File Photo: An alleged bust-up with Tamim, just ahead of the World Cup, was the latest controversy surrounding Shakib as a captain. | Photo Credit: REUTERS File Photo: An alleged bust-up with Tamim, just ahead of the World Cup, was the latest controversy surrounding Shakib as a captain. | Photo Credit: REUTERS Will Bangladesh ever have a player capable of nearing, let alone surpassing, Shakib’s fabled legacy? Mehidy Hasan Miraz is being touted as a possible long-term successor to Shakib. His batting has eventually blossomed over the last year after half a decade of mediocrity, but the Off Spinner is yet to make his aggregate performances across the three departments lead to match wins for the country. The 2023 World Cup could see the end of an era in Bangladesh cricket and its talismanic all-rounder’s achievements will be recorded in cricket history for the upcoming generations of cricket fans to venerate.
