“We should focus on the positives of the vaccine,” Tamim said at Dhaka’s Kurmitola General Hospital on Thursday.
“It has become very important for all to be vaccinated. I salute those who are involved in the vaccination programme,” the 31-year old skipper said after taking his vaccine shot, which was arranged by the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
The team is scheduled to fly to New Zealand on Feb 23.
Left-handed opener Tamim later said: “I had a great experience. And that was not the case with just me, the vaccination process for my friends and members of my family was very good as well.”
