Abahani and Kalabagan will lock horns on the opening day of the Dhaka Premier League on Friday in Fatullah.
"Actually I'm not yet used to the leadership role. I still have a lot to learn. I haven't done much captaincy, just some in recent tournaments," Tamim said on Thursday.
"I think it is similar to batting, the more I will lead, the better I will get. But it would be best if I could learn from [Mashrafe].
"When I play for the national team, I act as a very good supporting hand with lots of ideas. But donning the leadership role is a completely different thing. I will try to learn from him in tomorrow’s match."
