Bangladesh Women’s coach suffers minor stroke at World Cup.
In Colombo, where the team is getting ready for their World Cup opening against Pakistan, Sarwar Imran, the head coach of the Bangladesh women’s team, suffered a small stroke on Monday.
Imran is presently in a stable condition, according to team manager SM Golam Faiyaz, who verified the information.
“(Sarwar) Imran sir was feeling dizzy a couple of days ago, and it continued on Monday. We took him to the hospital where the doctors detected he had a minor brain stroke,” said Faiyaz.
Imran was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, according to the manager. Despite his desire to participate in Tuesday’s training session, he is still recovering in the team hotel.
Hashan Tillakaratne, the former captain of Sri Lanka, resigned from his position earlier this year, and Imran, 66, was named the women’s head coach in February.
When the Bangladeshi squad played their first Test match in 2000, Imran was also the men’s coach.
Bangladesh’s World Cup campaign begins Thursday in Colombo against Pakistan. They will be attending the tournament for the second time; they made their debut in 2022 and barely qualified for this year’s competition.
“We asked sir to rest today,” Faiyaz said. “He is hopeful of going to the ground with us tomorrow (Wednesday).”
