Cricket Star Tamim Iqbal Discharged From Hospital After Heart Attack, Doctor Updates on Cricket Return

Four days after having a heart attack during a Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League game, Tamim Iqbal was released from the KPJ Specialized Hospital and Nursing Home. Tamim spent four days in the hospital following an angioplasty procedure on Monday. In the coming days, the doctors could keep an eye on him. The cricket player experienced anxiety prior to Monday's match between Mohammedan Sporting Club and Shinepukur Cricket Club, which was preceded by the event.

Given that Mohammedan Sporting Club's physiotherapist had to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the condition appeared to be critical. A cardiologist implanted one of the rings in Tamim's arteries when he regained consciousness. Concerned, Tamim's family went to the hospital to assess his condition.
