South Asian cricket teams fighting hard for Drama Cup™ points.

You missed the "It seems he has been thinking about it for a long time" before that part. :/

Says a lot about Bangladesh cricket if the guy in charge thinks that thinking about things for a long time is not 'proper'

I shocked, When I get know the retirement announcement... Captain, 3 month away from World Cup and this announcement... Wow...

He lasted longer than 24 hours to be fair

ECB should've hired Papon then. Would've gotten even Marcus Trescothick up and running for the third ashes test by now, by arranging a special visit to Queen Elizabeth King Charles in the Buckingham Palace

Actually ,Tamin does join the ranks of Shahid Afridi and Younis Khan. People often do not talk about Younis Khan, but he honestly was another person who kept threatening the PCB with retirement until he got his way.

As for Tamim's future- if BCB are going to install Litton as captain, the Asia Cup* might be a litmus test for Tamim. Failure to perform there might see him being left out of the Word Cup squad as well.

There’s no universe in which they drop Tamim for the WC if he wants to play in it. It would be a huge controversy with ripple effects beyond cricket should it happen.

Tamim: I retire!
BCB: No, come back.
Tamim: Okay, fine.
BCB: Now you're dropped.

Lahiru Thirimanne announces retirement from international cricket

The 33-year-old was part of the Sri Lankan side that won the T20 World Cup in 2014

Safe to say he underachieved massively? Those test and t20i stats are abysmal.

Other than that mini revival he had out of nowhere I’d have to agree. Him and Tharanga were such disappointments at the end.
