Cricket Legends Visit Ailing Teammate for Support and Hope
Afghanistan's cricket stars Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi visited former pacer Shapoor Zadran, hospitalized with a rare disease. Zadran suffers from Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a severe condition affecting the immune system. The ex-pacer initially responded well to treatment but relapsed after discharge.
In a heartwarming gesture of solidarity, Afghanistan cricket icons Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi visited their ailing former teammate, Shapoor Zadran, in a Delhi-NCR hospital. Zadran, battling the life-threatening Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), has been receiving treatment for months.
The 38-year-old ex-pacer, who played 44 ODIs and 36 T20Is for Afghanistan from 2009 to 2020, initially responded well to treatment but suffered a relapse post-discharge. His colleagues' visit underscores the camaraderie in the cricketing world.
HLH, primarily affecting children, severely impairs the immune system, leading to hyperinflammation. As Zadran fights this daunting challenge, his friends hope for his swift recovery, allowing a return to loved ones and the sport he cherishes.
