Times have changed since the beginning of cricket. Those days when cricket was being played in England and other colonial areas. Now, cricket is more than that. Cricket is a global phenomenon. It is an animal that is always growing and getting bigger. For this reason, it is not a surprise that other nations are slowly catching up with the fun of the sport. One of such nations would surely be Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has risen over time with a lot of great players coming up in recent times. One of the players who are surely responsible or has played a great role would be Tamim Iqbal.

Born in 1989, this is a player who is about 30 years. However, for someone who is at that age, he has surely accomplished so many things for his team.

It all started when he made his debut in 2007 for his country. He played that year in the ODI series and would later go on to make a debut in the Test series the very next year. Soon enough, he would become the captain of his team and would hold that post for the next year.

There are many reasons why he is loved in his home country. One of those reasons would surely be the record he has achieved while playing for his country. One of these records would be scoring a lot of centuries in all formats of the game. He is also the first cricket player from his country to ever reach the 10000 mark when it comes to international runs that have been completed. That is quite the record.

He is a player who has an eye for the record. One of these records was recently set in 2018 when he took on Zimbabwe alongside his team. In that game, he became the very first Bangladesh player to hit the 6,000 runs mark when playing in the ODI. He would also become the highest scorer in the ODI series for his country. That’s quite the record if you ask me.

As he keeps on setting the stage alight with his performances, his private life has not suffered as a result. He tied the knot to his girlfriend Ayesha and subsequently exchanged vows with her. Their union has also been blessed with a boy which they no doubt love very much.

Also, cricket life has been quite a blessing to him. His net worth at 30 currently stands at $30 million which is quite commendable. For most people from Bangladesh, he is the greatest player to ever put on their country's jersey. There is no doubt that he deserves all the praise that comes his way.

As for 30 years, you would probably agree that you are much closer to the end of the career than when you started. For Tamim, this is not all that bad. The truth is even if he retires now, he has nothing to prove. He's done everything right and that cannot be tarnished.
