Summary
Former Afghanistan fast bowler Shapoor Zadran is currently battling for his life in a Delhi hospital after being diagnosed with a rare and life-threatening condition.
The 38-year-old is suffering from Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a severe immune disorder that causes extreme inflammation and organ damage. He is presently admitted to the intensive care unit, with his condition described as critical.
Zadran had initially fallen ill late last year before being advised to travel to India for advanced treatment. With support from Afghanistan Cricket Board officials and players like Rashid Khan, his medical visa was fast-tracked, allowing him to be admitted to a Delhi hospital in January. Since then, his health has seen fluctuations, including temporary recovery phases followed by relapses.
Complications have further worsened his situation, with reports indicating infections spreading across his body, including tuberculosis and later dengue, severely weakening his immune system.
His condition deteriorated significantly after a bone marrow test confirmed an advanced stage of HLH, leaving him in a fragile state under constant medical supervision.
