Tamim Iqbal And His Wife Blessed With A Baby Girl

Star Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal and his wife Ayesha Siddiqui have been blessed with a baby girl on November 19 (Tuesday). The cricketer took to social media platforms to inform his fans and followers revealing the name of his new girl – Alishba Iqbal Khan.

The veteran opener opted out of the Bangladesh side for their ongoing tour against India. The cricketer cited personal reasons and wanted to stay with his wife during this period which clashed with the series against the Men in Blues. Earlier reports emerged that Tamim Iqbal will skip the second Test in Kolkata to be with his wife who is likely to deliver then. However, now, the star batsman has decided to accompany his wife the entire week leading to the date of delivery.
