Tamim Iqbal, the former captain of Bangladesh's cricket team, was hospitalized after experiencing severe chest pain during a match. He underwent emergency surgery to insert stents for an arterial blockage but has since been discharged. Doctors have advised lifestyle changes, including abstaining from smoking, which is a risk factor for heart attacks. Though he is currently unable to play for three months, there is hope for his return to cricket contingent on his recovery and adherence to medical advice.
Doctors inserted stents to repair an arterial blockage the same day, and Tamim was later moved to a bigger health facility in the capital, Dhaka. After observing his health condition, we have decided to discharge him today.
Abu Zafar of the Bangladeshi Ministry of Health and Family Welfare told reporters on Wednesday that it was uncertain whether Tamim would be able to return to cricket. Tamim won't be able to play sports for the next three months.
We hope he will be able to return to cricket soon, the doctor added. He will have to follow doctors' advice.
Unfortunately, he is a smoker, which is a risk factor for heart attacks. He must stay away from it.
