As of March 24, 2025, Bangladesh cricketer Tamim Iqbal remains in critical condition on life support after suffering a heart attack during a Dhaka Premier League match. He experienced chest pain shortly after the coin toss and received immediate medical attention on the field before being rushed to the hospital. Bangladesh Cricket Board’s medical officer, Debashis Chowdhury, reported that while Tamim’s heart function improved post-treatment, his overall condition remains critical.
Tamim Iqbal, 36, has been a pivotal figure in Bangladesh cricket. He retired from international cricket in July 2023 but reversed his decision shortly after. Although he stepped down from captaincy, Tamim continued to play domestic cricket, leading Fortune Barishal to a Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) title in 2024 and earning Player of the Tournament honors. In January 2025, discussions were underway about his potential return to the national team for the Champions Trophy.
The cricket community is closely monitoring Tamim’s health, hoping for his swift recovery.
