Dhaka, Sept 19 (UNB) - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday phoned Bangladesh’s dashing batsman injured Tamim Iqbal and asked him to take good care of his health.
The Prime Minister phoned the opener of the national cricket team at noon and talked to him for a while, PM's Deputy Press Secretary Ashraful Alam Khokan said.
"You're an asset of the country as you're brightening its image day by day ... you'll have to take good care of your own health," Khokan quoted the Prime Minister as saying.
Noting that there are defeats and wins in sports, Hasina thanked Tamim for his heroic role in the match against Sri Lanka.
The Prime Minister said arrangements would be made for Tamim's treatment abroad, if necessary, and asked him to inform her about anything without hesitation.

At the bad of the team during the match, Tamim took the responsibility and played in a heroic style defying risks with bandage in his hand.
