Chittagong
\nFormer Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has thanked fans for their support as he recovers from a serious heart attack he suffered during a match earlier this week.
\nThe 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.
\nHe has since been relocated to a larger medical facility in the capital where he remains under observation.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s the heartbeat that keeps us alive, but we often forget that this beat can stop at any moment, without any warning,\u201d Tamim wrote on social media on Tuesday.
\n\u201cI offer my heartfelt gratitude and love to all of you. Please keep me and my family in your prayers. Without your love, I am nothing.\u201d
\nElder brother and former Bangladeshi international Nafees Iqbal was by Tamim\u2019s bedside along with other family members.
\nTamim was in critical condition when he was rushed to hospital, Razeeb Hasan, the medical director at the facility where Tamim received treatment, told reporters on Monday.
\nHe also said Tamim had to undergo surgery to implant stents to clear an artery blockage.
\nTamim scored more than 15,000 runs for Bangladesh in a career spanning 15 years and remains the only Bangladeshi to score hundreds in all formats of international cricket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
