Tamim is also in the commentary box along with Athar Ali Khan and Harsha Bhogle in the Chennai Test which started on Thursday (September 19).

At that time, in response to a question from Harsh Bhogle, Tamim said about Shakib, he is doing amazing bowling, Pakistan has bowled amazingly despite not getting many wickets in the series. However, recently Shakib is struggling a bit with his batting!

Bhogle also said that the cricketer who has improved the most in the last few days is Mehdi Hasan Miraj. Miraj, who had a series best against Pakistan, is being touted as the Shakib of the future. A few days ago, Tiger head coach Chandika Hathurusingha also said the same.

When Tamim was asked for his comments on this, he said that Miraj is now getting regular runs with the bat. Pace is comfortable, spin is also played very well. On the other hand, Shakib has been 'struggling' with the bat lately, so he is in favor of testing Mirage in the batting order instead of Shakib.

Tamim had expressed his special interest in commentary a long time ago. Despite retiring from international T20, this former captain has not yet announced his decision about Test and ODI cricket. In the meantime, he was seen in full commentary.
