Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal is “under close observation” in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest during a domestic T20 game in Dhaka.
The 36-year-old opener, who represented Bangladesh 391 times between 2007 and 2023, was playing for Mohammedan Sporting Club on Monday.
Tamim, Bangladesh’s record run-scorer in one-day internationals, complained of chest pains after taking to the field in their Dhaka Premier League fixture against Shinepukur.
Plans to transport him in a helicopter were abandoned as his condition deteriorated and he was instead taken for immediate treatment at a closer facility, the KPJ Specialized Hospital.
“Tamim Iqbal Khan suffered a cardiac arrest this morning at the Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan (BKSP),” read a statement by the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
