Sad news hit Bangladesh cricket when Tamim Iqbal had a heart attack during a Dhaka Premier League (DPL) game on Monday.  The captain of the Mohammedan Sporting Club said he had chest pain before collapsing.

The event took place at BKSP in Savar during Mohammedan's DPL match.  A helicopter was sent to take Tamim to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka, but he was in too bad of shape to move.  He was instead taken right away to KPJ Specialised Hospital in Savar, where doctors did an ultrasound and put a stent in his heart.  After that, he was moved to the CCU (Coronary Care Unit) and is now being watched for 48 hours.

When word got out about Tamim's death, his family, including his wife Ayesha Siddiqa and brother Nafees Iqbal, went to the hospital.  The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) even called off a board meeting that was supposed to happen while officials and players met to check on Tamim's health.

Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Tamim’s former captain and longtime teammate, expressed his deep concern via social media. On his official Facebook page, Mashrafe wrote, "May Almighty Allah be with you, Tamim. Get well soon and return to us, Inshallah."

He also posted a personal note, saying, "I couldn’t come to see you, brother. May Allah protect you. Hoping for your speedy recovery, InshaAllah."

After hours of nervous waiting, Tamim woke up and called his family, which made his fans and teammates feel better.
