Asia Cup 2018: Left-handers who could make an impact in the tournament

Tamim Iqbal

There has been no doubt whatsoever about Tamim's talent with the bat. Right from the 2007 World Cup, he has been a pillar of the Bangladeshi order. He was always been known for his flamboyance and stroke play. But the Tamim Iqbal 2.0 is much more than just a batsman who goes out there and shows his swagger.

Tamim has moulded himself brilliantly into the batsman who would bat deep, drop anchor when required and let the rest bat around him. His ability to play the long innings and cash in towards the end will help Bangladesh in their pursuit of lofting the cup, something that has evaded them on every prior occasion. Tamim will be hoping that he can bring all his experience to the party and roar out loud against their much-fancied neighbours.
