After batting star Tamim Iqbal spoke of keeping diplomatic channels open and trying to find an amicable solution, Nazmul called him an ‘agent’ of India. Later, when asked about the financial impact of Bangladesh’s non-participation in the biggest tournament of the year – which is said to cost Rs 300 crore – Islam said, “The BCB will not face any compensation, and the players will not be compensated because they were not entitled to it.”
