It will take time to overcome Christchurch horror: Tamim Iqbal
2
DHAKA: Bangladesh opening batsman Tamim Iqbal said he believes it will not be easy for the national cricket team to overcome the shock of narrowly escaping Friday’s shooting in a New Zealand mosque.
At least 49 people died in attacks on two mosques in the city of Christchurch.
“It will certainly take some time for us to get out of it [the state of shock] after the experience we had here,” Tamim told reporters at Christchurch airport moments before the team left for Bangladesh on Saturday.
“It is better that we are returning ... because everyone’s family is worried,” he said.

Very good decision that tour is cancelled and team returned home. At the moment, nobody cares much about cricket. People of New Zealand are going through a very emotional time and realizing that hate is everyone’s enemy. Hopefully the BD team will recover from this incident and people of New Zealand will get together as a peaceful and welcoming nation they have always been
