Tamim Iqbal, former captain of the Bangladesh cricket team, underwent an emergency angioplasty after suffering a heart attack during a cricket match in Dhaka on Monday.
The incident occurred while Tamim was fielding for Mohammedan Sporting Club against Shinepukur Cricket Club at the BKSP-3 ground in Savar, near the capital. He experienced severe chest pain and immediately left the field to seek medical attention.
Doctors at a nearby hospital confirmed a heart blockage following an angiogram. An angioplasty procedure was successfully performed to remove the blockage, and Tamim is currently under observation.
