At least 17 members of the Bangladesh cricket team, including Tamim, drove up to the Masjid al Noor in a bus to join Friday prayers when the mosque came under attack by a gunman. The Bangladesh cricket team was in Christchurch for their third and final Test of a three-match series, which was scheduled to begin Saturday. The Bangladesh team is expected to return home at 10:40pm local time on Saturday. I just hope after returning home we can overcome it (trauma) with the passing of time,” Tamim said before the team left Christchurch. The Bangladesh Cricket Board echoed Hasina's concerns, saying it was "unfortunate we did not see any visible security protocol."
