Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
Former Pakistan cricket captain and arguably one of the finest batsmen, Inzamamul Haq, suffered a heart attack and had to undergo angioplasty at a private hospital in Lahore, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday.
Heart Specialist Dr Zubair Akram carried out the angioplasty by planting stent after which Inzamamul Haq’s condition is stable. Later, he has been released from the hospital following successful surgery.
His supporters and colleagues offered prayers for his early recovery.
As the news about the sad development came to light in the wee hours, fans started pouring in best wishes, praying for his speedy recovery.
Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle also took to Twitter and wrote: “Wishing Inzamam-ul-Haq all the very best, that he recovers completely and remains part of our game for many many years.”
Reports suggest that the former Pakistan cricketer had been complaining about chest pain for three days. The initial tests did not reveal anything and hence nothing seemed concerning.
Prayers for the quick recovery of our legend and pride of Pakistan Syed Inzamam ul Haq. May Allah SWT give you complete shifa. @Inzamam08 #InzamamUlHaq

The 51-year-old is the highest scorer for Pakistan in ODI cricket with 11,701 runs in 375 matches. In Tests, he is the third-highest run-getter with 8,829 runs in 119 matches. In 2007, Inzamam retired from cricket. He has worked as the chief selector in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) from 2016 to 2019 and has also coached Afghanistan.
He has been regularly voicing his opinion on cricket on his YouTube channel.
Recently, after New Zealand pulled out of the Pakistan tour due to security threat, Inzamam said: “No country can do to another what New Zealand have done to Pakistan. They were our guests and if they had some issues they should have spoken to the PCB. Pakistan had been providing New Zealand with the best security. Since the attack on Sri Lankan cricketers in 2009, we have given security to teams equivalent to that given to a visiting president.”
