Bangladesh opening batsman Tamim Iqbal has pulled out of next month's Twenty20 and Test tour of India on personal grounds, the Bangladesh Cricket Board said on Saturday. The 30-year-old Tamim - Bangladesh's top run scorer in all formats - had indicated he would likely miss part of the tour to be with his wife as they expect their second child, chief selector Minhajul Abedin said. Bangladesh are scheduled to play three Twenty20 internationals and two Tests in India in November, starting in Delhi on November 3.
