The cricket world is buzzing with speculation surrounding Tamim Iqbal. As the Champions Trophy approaches, there are rumors that Tamim might make a comeback to the national team, potentially with an important role beyond just being a player. Although nothing has been confirmed yet, insiders hint that he could even join the BCB as a director in the future.

When asked about Tamim’s possible return to the squad, BCB president Faruque Ahmed stated to the press that he has “no news on this matter at the moment.”

Calls for including cricketers in board roles have grown over the years. While some former players are already on the board, many believe that having prominent current-generation figures like Tamim could benefit the board’s overall vision. However, BCB’s president notes that a balanced mix of both ex-cricketers and skilled organizers is vital for the board's success. He added, “Our board includes seven or eight former players, and we might add more if the capability aligns.”

Faruque highlighted that while players can bring valuable perspectives to areas like umpiring, game development, and coaching, other departments, such as finance, require specialized expertise. He explained, “Good players aren’t always natural organizers. We need a solid mix where players and non-players collaborate, each bringing unique strengths to the table.”

As Tamim’s potential return to both national cricket and the board looms, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how his future unfolds in both the team and organizational landscape.
