Former Bangladeshi cricket captain Tamim Iqbal returned home Friday (Mar 28), days after suffering a massive heart attack during a local match.
The 36-year-old was leading Mohammedan Sporting Club in a match of the 50-over Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League when he was rushed to a nearby hospital complaining of severe chest pain on Monday.
He was given stenting surgery the same day and later moved to a bigger health facility in the capital Dhaka.
“After observing his health condition, we have decided to discharge him today,” Shahabuddin Talukder, a doctor at Evercare Hospital told reporters.
He added that Tamim would have to maintain a rehabilitation program and modify his lifestyle.
“We hope he will be able to return to cricket soon,” he added.
