According to the BCB chief, two senior cricketers of the national team were reportedly at odds with each other. In the last one year, that revelation about the two greats became a topic of discussion in Bangladeshi cricket.
In a documentary aired by Bongo, a leading OTT platform in Bangladesh, Shakib addressed the controversy, revealing how Hasan's comments created the situation.
"This thing came into focus after Papon (Nazmul Hasan) bhai spoke about it and it created a lot of problems on the relationship and created this situation. I think some people intended to keep it (the rift) in focus. And he tried to do so."Make it the main point (of discussion) rather than the cricket aspect," Shakib said.
Tamim has been inconsistent in the Bangladesh team after suffering a back injury, he was ruled out of the Asia Cup 2023 and was also not selected for the Bangladesh World Cup squad, citing a persistent back injury.
Earlier this year, Tamim had posted a video on Facebook, claiming that he was not selected in the squad due to the growing tension between him and BCB officials rather than because he was not fit enough to participate in the tournament. Was.
Speaking in a documentary, while Tamim downplayed the impact of his relationship on the team, Shakib had a different view. “We weren't talking much for a long time.[But] it's not right that we weren't talking. The thing is, there was a time when we were together all the time but that relationship was not there for a long time, Shakib was quoted as saying in the documentary.
"It's very natural... I got married and she also got married, we were living separately in different places and so there was very little time between us. We [earlier] lived separately in the same building. We were living on different floors, so there was definitely closeness. As people start living separate family lives and with time (relationships) change because of our busy schedules, it starts to diminish."
Shakib stressed that their professional relationship remains intact despite the distance.He said, "What happened later is that whenever we met on the field, whenever we needed to talk, we talked and I don't think there is much need to talk between us other than that."
They also underlined that their interactions were sufficient for their roles on the team, and there was no need for additional efforts to bridge any perceived gaps.
"There's nothing to make it good or bad (as far as the relationship with Tamim is concerned). As long as we played together and shared the dressing room, I don't think any incident happened that would harm the team. We tried to contribute whether we were talking or not, there were no problems of any kind on the field or in the dressing room,” Shakib insisted.Addressing a particularly controversial interview before last year's World Cup, where he accused Tamim of being irresponsible, Shakib made his intentions clear. He said, "I didn't try to send any message through that interview because it was definitely spontaneous. I felt I should make everything clear before going into the World Cup so that people know exactly what What happened and why has this kind of situation arisen? Said.
