In a recent interview, Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal heap praised his fellow mate Mushfiqur Rahim as the best chef during the tour days. Tamim also added how Mushfiqur can cook chicken and various other dishes with excellent taste.
When we are going on a long tour and we have kitchen facilities in our hotel, we have a culture of cooking together. Imrul Kayes is our head chef, but yes when he is not in the team, Mushfiq (Mushfiqur Rahim) takes over. He is a very good cook. He cooks chicken. We usually have Khichuri, chicken and different types of bhorta. We have done it on many tours, like South Africa and Sri Lanka”. Said Tamim.
Bangladesh is currently playing a Test series against Sri Lanka. Tamim scored a well constructed 90 and a 74 in the first Test, however, the match was declared drawn. While Mushfiqur got the chance to bat only in the first innings, where he stood not out for a well-played knock of 68 runs.
Both the teams are currently playing their second Test at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Sri Lanka.
