Tamim asks youngsters to retain the hunger

DHAKA: Tamim Iqbal has urged the younger members of the Bangladesh team to remain hungry for forthcoming challenges at the end of a successful year in international cricket.

Bangladesh began 2015 with a maiden appearance in a World Cup quarter-final. They built on that with back-to-back series wins over Pakistan, India, South Africa and Zimbabwe with considerable help from newer players.

Bangladesh are likely to play a T20 series against Zimbabwe in mid-January as preparation for the Asia Cup T20 in mid-February and March’s World T20. On January 3, a 30-member preliminary squad will meet for the first time since November.
