Former Bangladesh cricket captain Tamim Iqbal returned home from hospital on Friday, four days after suffering a heart attack during a domestic cricket match and undergoing emergency medical treatment.
Dr Shahabuddin Talukder, who oversaw Tamim's treatment at a hospital in Dhaka, confirmed that Tamim was discharged.
"He will have to maintain a rehabilitation programme," Dr. Shahabuddin said in a press briefing on Friday.
Tamim had fallen ill on March 24 while leading Mohammedan Sporting Club in a Dhaka Premier League match at the BKSP grounds in Savar.
After initially experiencing chest pain - which he believed to be gastric discomfort - he was rushed to a nearby hospital. There, doctors detected a blockage in one of his arteries and performed a stenting procedure to restore blood flow.
His condition was initially critical, but he improved steadily over the next few days. Before being shifted to the capital, Tamim was able to walk and speak with family members.
Tamim, who announced his retirement from international cricket earlier this year, shared a heartfelt message with fans earlier this week, thanking them for their prayers and support.
"I offer my heartfelt gratitude and love to all of you. Please keep me and my family in your prayers," he wrote.
Tamim is Bangladesh's highest run-scorer in international cricket, with over 15,000 runs across all formats.
