Tamim, who announced his retirement from international cricket on Thursday, was due to meet the head of the state at 2:30pm.

In an emotion-chocked presser following the first ODI against Afghanistan, Tamim notified that he would no longer serve the national team calling an end to his 16-year-career, just three months prior to the ODI World Cup to be held in India.
