After suffering from chest trouble during a Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League match, former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal was admitted to the hospital on Monday.
"A helicopter was originally scheduled to transport Tamim to the hospital, but it was unable to transport him from the BKSP ground in Savar. The newspaper cited match referee Debabrata Paul as saying, "He was later taken to the Fazilatunnesa Hospital."
In January of this year, Iqbal made his second announcement about his retirement from international cricket. He had previously made a similar declaration in July 2023 during a tearful press conference, but he changed his mind within 24 hours after Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister of Bangladesh at the time, intervened.
Iqbal, who last played for the national squad in 2023, has scored 5,134 runs and 8,357 runs for Bangladesh in 70 Test matches and 243 One-Day Internationals. In 78 T20Is, he has also amassed 1,758 runs.
