Tamim Iqbal tried his luck in cricket commentary at the BPL during the match between Chattagram Challengers and Khulna Tigers at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Monday.
The left-handed opener scored 407 runs in this edition of BPL which makes him the second highest run getter so far but his team Minister Dhaka failed to reach the playoff stage as they lost five matches out of ten in the group stage.
Tamim came to SBNCS to attend a meeting with the BCB top brass, and before the meeting he did some live commentary along with Ed Rainsford.
"For the first time I am doing live commentary, feeling nervous like playing my first match", he said during commentary.
After his stint, Tamim visited the press box to meet the journalists where he said,
"I came to the BCB for a meeting. I was asked to do the commentary during the Pakistan series but could not do it. Actually, I did not do live commentary, actually, I was talking about my experiences and some tidbits of the game".
Tamim also hosted a few online talk-shows with some of his fellow cricketers from various countries when all cricket activities were put on hold due to the pandemic situation which became very popular.
He also said that in post-playing life, he wants to give it a shot,
" I find it very interesting. Maybe I can take it up in the future but right now I am not thinking about it", said Tamim.
