Shakib Al Hasan made headlines before the World Cup due to conflicts with former captain Tamim Iqbal. Tamim withdrew from the ODI World Cup, citing reluctance to play in the middle order. Shakib criticized Tamim’s behavior, labeling it as childish and urging him to play for the team’s benefit. Shakib suggested that Tamim could learn selflessness from players like Rohit Sharma.
