Pacers Taskin Ahmed and Rubel Hossain followed within the next episode and Tamim then turned back the clock with an episode featuring former national stars Khaled Mahmud, Habibul Bashar and Naimur Rahman.
It was learned that the 31-year-old is expected to have several more live interactions with the existing and former Bangladesh cricketers. According to sources, Tamim can be planning to generate some more international cricketers following the speak to Du Plessis on Wednesday.
