Bangladesh’s rising cricket star Azizul Hakim Tamim continues to make waves with his impressive performances. After catching attention with his remarkable batting for the U19 team and excelling in the recent NCL T20 tournament, Tamim has secured a spot in the Rangpur Riders squad for the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025.

The Rangpur Riders confirmed Tamim’s inclusion through an official announcement on their social media page. Tamim, who recently led Bangladesh’s U19 team to Asia Cup glory, was a standout performer in the tournament. His consistent performances with the bat and exemplary captaincy helped secure the championship title for Bangladesh.

The 19-year-old further showcased his skills in the NCL T20 Tournament, proving his capability in domestic cricket. Now, Tamim is set to shine on the bigger stage with the Rangpur Riders, the reigning champions of the Global Super League.

The Rangpur Riders boast a roster filled with star players, making it a tough challenge for Tamim to break into the playing XI. However, with his current form and determination, Tamim could seize any opportunity that comes his way to make a lasting impression.

The Rangpur Riders will kick off their BPL campaign on December 30, 2024, in the second match of the day against the Dhaka Capitals.

Tamim has been a key figure for Bangladesh’s U19 team, consistently delivering match-winning performances. His contributions during the U19 Asia Cup and subsequent domestic tournaments have positioned him as one of the most promising young talents in Bangladeshi cricket.
