With Tamim Iqbal announcing his retirement on Friday, another chapter in the legacy of Chattogram’s renowned ‘Khan Family’ in Bangladesh cricket has closed. Akram Khan, Tamim’s uncle, was the family’s first representative in the national team, playing for the Tigers from 1988 to 2003. He was followed by Nafees Iqbal, Tamim’s elder brother, who represented Bangladesh from 2003 to 2006.
