Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has been taken to hospital after complaint of chest pain during a Dhaka Premier League match.
The left hander was in action during a Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League match between Mohammedan Sporting Club and Shinepukur Cricket Club.
Initially, a helicopter was arranged to move Tamim to the hospital. However, he could not be flown from the BKSP ground in Savar.
He was later taken to the Fazilatunnesa Hospital, match referee Debabrata Paul told ESPNcricinfo.
The incident occurred in the first innings of the 50-overs-a-side contest, soon after the toss.
Tamim Iqbal announced his retirement from international cricket earlier this year.
He initially announced retirement in July 2023 but overturned his decision after intervention from the then PM Sheikh Hasina.
Tamim was asked to return to the Bangladesh team for the ICC Champions Trophy, however, he refused the request. He posted a long note on facebook to confirm his retirement.
The southpaw played 70 Tests, 243 ODis and 78 T20Is for Bangladesh, scoring 5134, 8357 and 1778 runs respectively.
