Tamim Iqbal will 'wait until January' to decide about his future in worldwide cricket.

"After the World Cup, I felt that there should be a decision about my international future," Tamim mentioned throughout a press convention on Monday. "Throughout my career, I have always kept myself away from indecision. I have always been very open and clear about whatever decision I have taken in my life. I was not in the country for quite some time, so this meeting [with BCB president Nazmul Hassan] was due.

"We held the assembly right this moment as a result of we needed to postpone it yesterday too. Today is definitely not a fantastic day to do all this. The Test match [against New Zealand] begins tomorrow. Since we needed to do the assembly right this moment, a press release afterwards was at all times forthcoming, so I apologise that I'm doing this the day earlier than the sport. It is essential for me and the Bangladesh group that there is no impression of this within the sport."

Tamim said that he was holding back the announcement about his future at Nazmul's request, adding that he will be returning to competitive cricket during next year's Bangladesh Premier League in January.

"I do not wish to preserve issues hanging for a couple of extra months. I do not wish to stretch it unnecessarily," he said. "After discussing a variety of issues with the president and the board, I wish to respect their determination and wait until January. I might have advised you my plan right this moment, however let me play within the BPL, after which we could have one other dialogue for positive."

"There wasn't sufficient time [to discuss matters with Tamim]," Nazmul said. "He mentioned some stuff. But he got here at a time once I did not have sufficient time for him. I've the elections in a month. I spend most of my time in my constituency. I advised him I'll pay attention and converse to some extra folks after the elections. I wish to know the place the issue is. I wish to go into its depth."
