BSS, Dhaka :
ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal continued his noble job in the time of coronavirus pandemic as he further provided assistance to the 50 coaches in Chattogram.
Tamim, who hails from Chattogram, provided the monetary support to the coaches after he came to know the vulnerability of them.
The swashbuckling opener was approached by some senior cricket coaches and was explained about the crisis that many coaches going through as sports activity in the country is now suspended because of Corona Virus.
Tamim’s elder brother, former Bangladesh opener Nafees Iqbal along with Chittagong Cricket Coaches Association (CCCA) handed over the financial help to the 50 coaches on Sunday evening.
“We (me and Tamim) actually learnt cricket from these coaches as we used to go to the field with our father [Late Iqbal Khan],” Nafees Iqbal told the media.
“I will say it is the responsibility of all the students to stand beside their teachers in this critical time. A small meeting was arranged in our restaurant [Khawaja Hotel] ensuring social distance and hygiene.”
Nafees informed that the senior coaches shortlist the names of the coaches, who require assistance.
“We ensured that they do not have feel embarrassed to receive the assistance. Tamim had wanted to keep it within us but the coaches wanted to make this public so that others might get inspired and come forward to extend their helping hand to the people who are going to the crisis,” he added.
