In a stunning show of resilience, Bangladesh national cricket team head coach Sarwar Imram has returned to work just days after suffering a minor stroke—attending both team training and the Tigers’ emphatic seven-wicket victory over Pakistan.
Imran’s health scare occurred during a critical phase of Bangladesh’s international schedule. Despite medical advice to rest, the 52-year-old coach was spotted at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on match day, overseeing every moment of Bangladesh’s dominant win against arch-rivals Pakistan.
His presence lifted team morale, with players later acknowledging his influence in their disciplined performance. “Seeing him in the dugout gave us extra motivation,” said one squad member.
Sarwar Imran, appointed head coach in 2024, has been instrumental in stabilizing the team’s performance amid a transitional phase. His quick return signals strong leadership and commitment—qualities vital as Bangladesh prepares for upcoming ICC events.
