Mohammedan Sporting Club captain Tamim Iqbal was suddenly taken ill during their Dhaka Premier League (DPL) match against Shinepukur Cricket Club at BKSP.  Even though Tamim's team was doing well after choosing to bowl first, his sudden health problem made peers and fans worry.  Right away, a helicopter was sent to take him to the hospital.

The former captain of the Bangladesh national team has been in charge of Mohammedan in the current DPL season.  As usual, he was in charge of the game against Shinepukur on March 24.  But while Tamim was in the field during Shinepukur's turn, he suddenly felt sick.  He said he was uncomfortable and had chest pain, which made the medical team rush to help him.  Because of how dangerous the situation was, a plane was sent right away to take him to a hospital.

Because of how quickly things needed to be handled, Tamim wasn't taken to Dhaka but to a hospital close to BKSP.  According to reports, he was in such bad shape that he wasn't even able to get on the helicopter.

Tamim was in great shape in this year's Dhaka Premier League before he got sick.  He continued to do well in the DPL after taking Fortune Barishal to the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) title.  In his second game, he hit a hundred without being out against Partex. The next game, against Brothers Union, he hit another hundred without being out.
