He added that Tamim should maintain a rehabilitation program and change his lifestyle.
“We hope that he will soon be going back to cricket,” he added.
On Wednesday, Abu Zafar of the Bangladesh Ministry of Health told journalists that he was not sure that Tamim would be able to return to cricket.
“Tamim will not be able to play sports for the next three months. If everything is going well, then he can come back,” he said.
“Unfortunately, he is a smoker, which is a risk factor for heart attacks. He must stay away. He will have to follow the advice of doctors.”
Tamim has scored more than 15,000 points for Bangladesh during a career spanning 15 years and remains the only Bangladesh to mark hundreds in all international cricket formats.
