As Bangladesh national football team prepare for their big game against India, they took a moment to honor cricket legend Tamim Iqbal.  Before starting their practice session, the team held a moment of silence for the popular cricket player who is still healing from a heart attack.

The quick health scare of Tamim has shocked everyone in the Bangladeshi sports world.  The former captain of the national cricket team collapsed on the pitch after having two heart attacks in a row. He was very close to losing his life.  He is now in a safe condition after getting medical help right away and having surgery that went well, but his recovery is still a worry.

As the footballers observed a moment of silence, the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) also shared their support through an emotional social media post. "When the heart stops but the spirit refuses to quit...Tamim Iqbal fought back, woke up, and spoke. On the pitch or in life, courage defines him. The comeback is always greater than the setback. Keep fighting, legend—the world is with you." This heartfelt message was accompanied by an iconic image of Tamim Iqbal batting one-handed, symbolizing his resilience and never-give-up attitude.

Additionally, BFF president Tabith Awal released a statement, saying, "Bangladesh cricket’s most experienced opener and former captain Tamim Iqbal has suffered a cardiac emergency and is currently under medical care. We pray for his swift recovery and hope to see him back among us soon. May the Almighty bless him with good health."
