Match referee Debabrata Paul, who is at the hospital with Tamim, confirmed that the Mohammedan captain fell sick and is currently admitted to a hospital. A BCB director also told that the opener got admitted due to chest pain.
"Nafees Iqbal and his mother are here now. The doctors did an angiogram. Out of his two arteries, one is 100 percent blocked another is partially blocked," said Debabrata.
The officials had originally planned to fly Tamim to a hospital in Dhaka via helicopter but decided to admit him to Fazilatunnesa Hospital near BKSP after his condition worsened.
The BCB had a board of directors meeting scheduled today at 12:00 pm but it has been cancelled as top board officials are rushing to the hospital in Savar.
