    VIDEO: Former fast bowler Sarfaraz Nawaz facing difficulty walking due to bone disease

    Former Test cricketer Sarfaraz Nawaz is suffering from a bone disease due to which he is having difficulty in walking for the past few months, reports Geo News.

    In a 44-seconds video shared on Twitter, the London-based cricketer-turned-politician can be seen walking down the street using a walker.

    As per details, Nawaz has been living in Tooting, London, for many years with his family.

    In 2019, the former Test bowler was admitted to a hospital in London due to a heart problem.

    Nawaz played 55 Tests for Pakistan and took 177 wickets. He also played 45 One-Day Internationals and picked 63 wickets besides taking 1,005 first-class wickets.

    Nawaz is best known for his nine for 86 against Australia at Melbourne in 1979, which included a spell of seven wickets for just one run off 33 balls.

    Following his retirement from the game, Nawaz became a commentator and later joined politics.

    Former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq says he did not suffer a heart attack

    Former captain of Pakistan cricket team Inzamam-ul-Huq has clarified that he did not suffer a heart attack, as widely reported by the media.

    Inzamam, in a video message, thanked all the people across the world who had prayed for him — fans, former and current cricketers, and commentators.

    “It felt very nice being remembered, so I wanted to thank everyone,” he said.

    The former batsman said that he did not suffer a heart attack; he had gone to the doctor for a “routine checkup”.

    “They recommended an angioplasty and during the procedure, they said my artery is blocked and a stent is needed,” he explained.

    Inzamam said he gave his go-ahead, and then a procedure was done, which was a success and he is alright now.

    He said he stayed at the hospital for 12 hours and is now home.

    The batsman urged everyone to immediately go to the doctor whenever they suspect anything wrong with their health.

    “The doctors told me that had I delayed going in, I could have suffered damage,” he said.

    Inzamam’s manager had earlier today said that he had been discharged from the hospital after undergoing successful angioplasty surgery at a Lahore hospital.

    Following the news of his illness, Sachin Tendulkar, Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, Shoaib Malik, Azhar Ali, Babar Azam, Hassan Ali and others had wished Inzi a speedy recovery.
