Tamim Iqbal out of Asia Cup with back injury.

Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal has made headlines once again as he announced his decision to step down from the ODI captaincy with immediate effect. This decision comes in the wake of Tamim being ruled out of the Asia Cup due to a back injury, which likely influenced his choice.

The team management remains optimistic that the experienced left-handed batsman will recover in time for the ODI series against New Zealand at home, scheduled to begin on September 21. However, the persistent back issue has been troubling him for some time, and he is hopeful of resolving it before the upcoming World Cup later this year.
