Tamim, a young talent of Bangladesh, who played in the2006 U-19 Cricket World Cupin Sri Lanka, was picked for the2007 World Cupand played against India in the group stage of the competition, scoring 51 runs from 53 deliveries, helping his team to win the match. In December that year, theBangladesh Cricket Board(BCB) granted Tamim a one-year grade C contract, one of 22 central contracts held by the Board at the time. Although he was still in the lowest tier of central contracts, it was an extension of his previous contract, which lasted six months.[59]

OnBangladesh's tour of the West Indies in July and August 2009,Tamim scored his maiden Test century against aWest Indies teamweakened by disputes between players and administrators, which resulted in seven players making their Test debuts in the match.[60]His effort with the bat helped Bangladesh to a historic victory – their first against the West Indies in Tests, their first overseas Test victory and only their second Test win.[61][62]He ended up with 128, and was named as the Man of the Match for his performance (he also scored 33 in the first innings). Speaking of his innings, Tamim said "It was a flat wicket, and if you concentrate hard and look to bat straight, it's a good track to score on. I'm just 20 and have played only 11 Tests, I think there are a lot more [innings like these] to come".[63][64]Bangladesh went on to win the second Test, and in the process secured their first overseas series win.[65]Iqbal was Bangladesh's leading run-scorer in the series with 197 runs.[66]

Bangladesh's coach,Jamie Siddons,opined in January 2010 that Tamim had "the makings of a world-class opener".[67]

WisdenCricketer of the Year

[edit]

During the first innings of the first Test againstEnglandin March 2010, Tamim scored 86 runs from 120 deliveries. In the process he became the fastest Bangladesh batsman to reach 1,000 Test runs in terms of innings, taking 19 to reach the landmark.[68]He also became the third-youngest player in Test history (behindSachin Tendulkarand compatriotMohammad Ashraful) to reach 1,000 Test runs.[69]

In May that year, Bangladeshtoured Englandfor two more Tests and three ODIs. Though his team lost 2–0, Tamim scored a century in each of the Tests.[70]For his performances against England, Tamim was named one of theWisden Cricketers' Almanack'sfour Cricketers of the Year in 2011.[71]In October he was also namedWisden'sTest Player of the Year, ahead ofGraeme SwannandVirender Sehwag,who came second and third respectively. During the qualifying period for the award, Tamim scored 837 runs in seven Tests at an average of 59.78. It was just the second time a Bangladesh player had won the award, asShakib Al Hasanwas named the previous year.[70]At the start of November, the BCB announced 16 central contracts. Tamim was one of six players at the top level.[72]

Bangladesh vice-captain

[edit]

In December 2010, Tamim replacedMushfiqur Rahimas Bangladesh's vice-captain.[73]In the opening match of the2011 World Cuphe scored 70 against India in a losing cause. In the following match againstIrelandhe scored 44 off 43 balls, and took a catch. In the next game against theWest Indies,Tamim was caught at the slips for a third-ballduckas Bangladesh folded for its lowest ODI score, 58 all out. The following game againstEnglandhe scored a quick fire 38 to get his side off to another good start, with Bangladesh eventually winning by two wickets.

Tamim became only the second Bangladeshi to playcounty cricketin England[a]when he signed to play forNottinghamshirein June 2011.[22]He was recruited as a short-term replacement for Australian batsmenDavid Hussey,who was called up to the national squad.[23]During his stay, Tamim played five matches, scoring 104 runs with a highest score of 47.[24]Tamim, whose batting was described in theNottingham Postas "solid if unspectacular", remarked of his performance that "It could have been better, but it wasn't too bad". Even though he was playing in a foreign country, there was pressure from the media in Bangladesh for Tamim to perform – especially when Nottinghamshire facedWorcestershirewho were fielding Shakib Al Hasan – with his exploits sometimes making the front pages.[25]

When Bangladesh toured Zimbabwe in July 2011 for a single Test and five ODIs, they did so with the expectation of winning. Zimbabwe were returning from a six-year exile from Tests, although Bangladesh had not played in the format in more than 14 months.[74]Despite claiming in a press conference that Zimbabwe's bowlers posed little threat,[75]Tamim managed 58 runs in the Test as Bangladesh slid to defeat.[76][77]Bangladesh lost the following ODI series against Zimbabwe 3–2. Bangladesh's batsmen struggled early in the series,[78][79]with Tamim managing 157 runs from five innings at an average of 31.40.[80]In the aftermath of the series, Shakib and Tamim were sacked as captain and vice-captain, with a BCB representative citing their poor leadership.[81]

West Indies toured in October, facing Bangladesh in a T20I, three ODIs and two Tests. Though Bangladesh lost the Test series 1–0, Tamim was his team's leading run-scorer with 186 from four innings, including two half-centuries.[82]The BCB founded the six-teamBangladesh Premier Leaguein 2012, a twenty20 tournament to be held in February that year. The BCB made Tamim the 'icon player' forChittagong Kings.[83]However, his appearances were limited due to a groin injury and he played just two matches and scored eight runs.[84][85]

In March 2012 Bangladesh hosted theAsia Cup.Tamim, who was recovering fromtyphoid,was initially dropped from the squad on the orders of BCB president Mustafa Kamal. Controversy ensued as Kamal had overridden the selection committee and eventually Tamim was re-added to the squad.[86]He responded by striking four consecutive half-centuries, becoming the first Bangladesh player to achieve the feat in ODIs.[87]Bangladesh progressed to the final against all expectations, although they lost to Pakistan by 2 runs.[88][89]Later that month Tamim signed withPune Warriorsin theIndian Premier League,[90]but did not play a single match for the team.[91]In April his top-level central contract with the BCB was renewed.[92]
