Former Bangladesh player Tamim Iqbal recently suffered a heart attack before a Dhaka Premier League (DPL) match, and was admitted to a hospital. The former Bangladesh international has recovered and has been discharged from the hospital.
The incident took place ahead of the match between Mohammedan Sporting Club and Shinepukur Cricket Club on Monday, and the cricketer felt uneasy before the game.
According to reports, he underwent angioplasty and has been discharged from the KPJ Evercare Hospital in Dhaka. But it is still unsure if he will continue playing cricket or not. Meanwhile, the doctors have reportedly revealed that a medical board will meet in 3-4 months to discuss and decide if he can return to the sport.
Tamim was captaining Mohammed in that match and was present in the toss. But while fielding during the Shinepukur innings, he felt discomfort and was immediately treated by a medical team. Then a helicopter was called to fly him out.
The medical team also had to administer CPR and DC shock to the player. But the helicopter was unable to take him, and he was taken to the KPJ Hospital in Savar, where a stent was put into his heart and he was moved to the ICU.
