Tamim Bashir was a First class and List A cricketer from Bangladesh who died of cerebral malaria on June 18, 2004, aged only 19.
He was a talented left-arm spinner who had already played 15 first-class matches for Khulna Division when taken ill while training with the Bangladesh high performance unit. Tamim Bashir, nicknamed "Tushar" on some scoresheets, claimed 44 wickets at 24.52, and was also a handy batsman, being stranded on 98 not out against Chittagong Division at Jessore in January 2004. His best bowling, six for 41, came against Dhaka Division at Jessore in 2001-02, when he was just 16 years old. He also took a five wicket haul in one day cricket.
