Former Bangladesh table tennis player Shamsul passes away
Former Bangladesh Table Tennis player and former Bangladesh Table Tennis Federation (BTTF) general secretary Shamsul Alam passed away at his own residence at 5:30 am on Saturday. He was 79.
Shamsul, who acted as general secretary of South Asian Table Tennis Federation twice and was also a member of the existing Executive Committee of BTTF, contracted coronavirus about a month or two ago. After recovering from Covid-19, he then suffered a brain stroke and was admitted to a hospital in the capital for about three weeks.
His family found him unconscious in his own room at home this morning. Shamsul's family and well-wishers in the sports fraternity believe he died of a heart attack.
The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) expressed their condolences at the passing away of Shamsul.
His namaz-e-janaza is scheduled to be held after Zuhr prayers at Baitun Nur Jam E Mosjid in Uttara today.
