He passed the fitness test. Then why did he say in front of the media that he was not fully fit? If he was not fit then how did he get the green signal to play? If he had a problem regarding this, he should have gone to the physio or come to us. What was his intention behind saying this to the media? International cricket doesn’t work like that. We never tolerated this and won’t do it in the future.

Aged 34 years and 108 days, why did you retire so soon? Is it really that you are no longer able to continue? Or is there some sort of pressure that forced you to do so? Maybe many of your fans will look answers of these questions – they will search for answers today and maybe for a long time to come.

It’s been a long journey with you [both] on and off the field with lots of moments & memories together. I’m grateful to you because of all the support you gave us as a brother and captain. We will miss you Tamim bhai

– Taskin Ahmed

Back when I was young and started understanding cricket, I used to watch and enjoy Tamim bhai playing. Didn’t think that one day I will have the fortune of playing alongside him. My debut match too came under Tamim bhai’s captaincy. I am proud to have played cricket alongside a legendary cricketer. You will be missed a lot in international cricket.

This picture is the last day of our practice. You are laughing with us Tamim Bhai. Today, you are retiring from international cricket. It’s hard for me to accept. You are such a good person; may Allah always bless you brother. Thanks for your great contribution to Bangladesh. We will miss you

– Ebadot Hossain.

We batted together, shared a dressing room. Had a lot of memories together. Can’t believe you will not play for Bangladesh anymore. Will miss you badly vai. All the best for your future life.

Living legend of Bangladesh with more than 15 thousand international runs! I have learned invaluable lessons about the game and life from Tamim bhai. And I am eternally grateful for your unwavering support, belief, and encouragement. You are a great sportsman with godly virtues. The players, the fans and the game itself will miss you, Tamim bhai.

Shocking to hear the news. I can’t believe my ears! I will always miss your guidance and your supportive hand on my shoulder Tamim Iqbal bhai.

Receiving my debut cap from you and till now it has been a pleasure to play with such a legend of Bangladesh cricket team. Very shocking to hear [of] your retirement from international cricket. Never imagined that we’re going to lose you so quickly, captain.
