Erasmaske Tamim: See you in Port Elizabeth

Mahmudullah has said goodbye to the Test. Shakib Al Hasan is unable to play the Test series in South Africa due to family reasons. Tamim Iqbal is also out of the Durban Test due to physical illness. Only Mushfiqur Rahim is senior on the field than captain Muminul Haque.

With the exception of Ibadat Hossain, the voices of other youngsters have not yet become so strong that they will face the umpire in protest of the wrong decision. Ibadat has been seen doing this several times in Kingsmead. He spoke with an eye on umpire Maris Erasmus. He also heard threats.

However, the most eye-catching scene at Kingsmead was at the end of the day's play. The players have already left the field. The two South African umpires of the match, Erasmus and Adrian Holdstock were leaving the field a little slower. As they approached the dressing room, they were confronted by a man who had come down from the dressing room of the Bangladesh team. Who is not even in the Durban Test; Yes, that is Tamim Iqbal.

Tamim was shaking hands with the two umpires for at least five minutes, saying something that Erasmus and Holdstock did not seem to answer from the press box. They stood and listened to Tamim as a silent listener. Later he left the field with Tamim.

But what did Tamim say to the umpires? On the fourth day of the Durban Test yesterday, the umpires made many wrong decisions for the Bangladesh team. Though Tamim spoke to the umpires, he mainly talked about the treatment of Bangladeshi cricketers and South African cricketers.

The fight between the cricketers of the two teams on the field of play is nothing new. When it goes to extremes, it is the umpires' responsibility to calm the situation. The Bangladesh team alleges that the umpires at Kingsmead are not performing that duty properly. Bangladeshi cricketers are threatening to say anything, but they are the ones who are indifferent to the aggressive sledding of South African cricketers!

According to Bangladesh team sources, Tamim has caught the umpires in this regard at the end of tomorrow. Wanted to know, why two different policies for the two parties! When the young cricketers of Bangladesh are being stopped by scolding them for saying something, Tamim asked why the umpires are silent on the behavior of the players of their own country.

Erasmus and Stockhold have also been told by Tamim A-O that he cannot do anything because he is not playing in this Test. But he will play in Port Elizabeth. If there is any counter then you will see what the umpires do.

With such a warning from the umpires, Tamim may have increased his risk. However, when all the work is not done in bat-ball performance, then someone or someone has to come forward and protest against injustice. That's what Tamim Kal did yesterday, blocking the Erasmus-Holdstock route.

In this series, South Africa is looking at Bangladesh in a new way. Tamim's warning to the umpires is a new experience for them.
