Talking about the idea behind bringing together Shakib and Tamim in the same frame after many years, Tanvir A Mishuk said, “The idea of uniting Shakib and Tamim stemmed from a dream fuelled by sheer determination. Throughout their careers, we have witnessed Shakib and Tamim’s remarkable chemistry on the cricket field, which has led to many victories for Bangladesh. I envisioned the possibility of them sharing their camaraderie beyond the boundary, and the prospect was indeed exciting. This endeavour may be unprecedented, but it is worth exploring.”

“I firmly believe that the aspirations of 17 crore people align with the desire to see Shakib and Tamim stay together, play together, win together,” he concluded.
