Tamim Iqbal suffers heart attack while playing DPL game

Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has been hospitalized after a massive heart attack during a Dhaka Premier League (DPL) match at Savar on Monday.

The 36-year-old batter, leading Mohammedan Sporting Club against Shinepukur Cricket Club in the ongoing Dhaka Premier League at BKSP, suddenly felt discomfort in his chest while on the field. He was rushed to a nearby hospital for further evaluation after receiving medical attention.

"He complained of having chest pain and was taken to a nearby hospital where he was checked and underwent an ECG," BCB chief physician Debashish Chowdhury confirmed. "There was a little problem and at times you cannot understand immediately (what the condition of the heart is).

"In the first blood test, there was a problem. He said he was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to go back to Dhaka. An ambulance was called in and when he was returning to the field from the hospital, he felt a pain in his chest again. He was then brought to the hospital for the second time and it seemed he had a massive heart attack. Now he is under observation at Fazilatunnesa Hospital.

It is understood that Tamim is undergoing an operation and a stent will be placed in his heart.

Several board directors are rushing to Savar and the board meeting has been rescheduled to Monday.
