Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has offered help to Shapoor Zadran. The former Afghanistan fast bowler is seriously ill and fighting for his life in hospital.
Zadran is 38 years old. He was rushed to the ICU after his condition suddenly got worse. His family shared the news and asked everyone to pray for him. Afridi spoke to Zadran’s brother right away. He showed his sadness and promised to help in any way he can.
Afridi calls Zadran a true fighter.
In a post on X, Afridi said Pakistan stands with Zadran. “You were always a fighter on the field. I know you will fight this too,” he wrote. He also sent prayers for his fast recovery.
Zadran served Afghanistan cricket for more than ten years. He took 43 wickets in ODIs and 37 in T20Is. Fans remember him for his big role in important wins, including the T20 World Cup victory against Scotland. He played in many league matches before retiring from international cricket last year.
Cricket world sends prayers and support.
Players and fans from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and other countries have sent many messages of support. They praised Zadran’s hard work in building Afghanistan’s cricket team in its early days.
Doctors are watching him closely in the ICU. Moving from the cricket ground to this health struggle is very difficult. Still, people close to him trust his fighting spirit will help him get better. Afridi’s quick support shows how the cricket family comes together in tough times.
