After the second ODI against New Zealand, which they lost by 86 runs, Bangladesh’s opening batsman Tamim Iqbal spoke candidly about his health, claiming he suffers ongoing back pain. Tamim Iqbal is returning to competitive cricket in the current series after receiving treatment in England.
The 34-year-old claimed that he is still experiencing pain and is seeing a physiotherapist. He acknowledged that his initial nervousness subsided after the first over. Notably, he scored 44 runs for his team off 58 balls, including 7 boundaries.
“It was nice to be back on the pitch. Although it was enjoyable to field for 50 overs and bat for 20 overs, my back is still very sore. Although our physiotherapist and I are working on it, there is still pain. I must admit that I was anxious. It wouldn’t be truthful to say it was just another match, especially in light of recent events. Tamim was quoted by Cricbuzz as stating, “I felt the nerves when I went to bat, but they went away after the opening over.
The medical staff will choose the appropriate course of action for my case: Tamim Iqbal
Tamim Iqbal acknowledged that he has been having trouble playing. The medical staff will soon decide how to treat his ailment, he added, as the eagerly anticipated Cricket World Cup approaches. He continued by expressing confidence that he won’t feel anxious throughout the following game.
“I needed to spend time on the field to learn how my body was responding, whether I was batting or fielding. There were problems, and there are still problems. I’m thinking about what I should do next. I put my all into my international cricket matches, and I work hard to do so. Even more so when playing against a reputable bowling attack, it’s not as easy as just showing up and playing. I gave it everything I had.
The medical staff will decide how to treat my issue the best. We’ll have to concentrate on reducing it since there isn’t a complete solution. I’m hoping a workable strategy will be created. I feel good about myself in terms of confidence. In the upcoming game, I’m hoping to feel less anxious. I’ve been talking to the medical staff about my physical health,” he continued.
