Sincere gratitude

With Sincere Gratitude: Former Afghanistan fast bowler Shapoor Zadran, who is battling a rare immune disorder at a hospital in New Delhi, continues to receive support from family and fans as his brother Ghamai Zadran expressed gratitude for blood donors and appealed for more prayers.

Shapoor, who represented Afghanistan in 44 ODIs and 36 T20Is from 2009 to 2020, is in the intensive care unit (ICU) with stage four Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a life-threatening condition that causes hyper-inflammation and damages tissues including the bone marrow, liver, spleen and lymph nodes.

"With Sincere Gratitude: I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the friends who took part in organizing the blood donation campaign for Shapoor Zadran. Special appreciation also goes to the Afghan brothers and sisters, as well as the Indian youths who personally came to the hospital and supported Shapoor with genuine care, kindness, and compassion.
