In a Facebook post, the southpaw from Chittagong wrote, “Our little bundle of joy has arrived! By the Grace of Almighty, we’ve been blessed with a baby boy earlier this morning.”

Both mother and son are doing well, the opener wrote in the post. However, doctors kept the little one under observation for 24 hours.
