The Barishal skipper revealed that he requested Mushfiqur to make the on-field bowling and fielding changes as Tamim wanted to look after the availability issues of the foreign players.
"They [Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah] came very close [to winning the tournament] a few times. I Wanted to dedicate the win to them."
"The likes of [Mehidy Hasan] Miraz, Taijul [Islam] have a lot of time. I don't know how long Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah will continue. That's why I called them to the post-match presentation as well," Tamim told reporters after the match.
Tamim finished the tournament with 492 runs, the most by anyone, and was also named the Player of the Tournament.
