Shapoor Zadran, a former fast bowler for Afghanistan, is currently in critical condition at a hospital in New Delhi, India, battling a rare and aggressive illness known as Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). This serious disorder disrupts the immune system and can lead to severe inflammation, affecting vital organs such as the bone marrow, liver, and spleen. Shapoor, 38, began experiencing health issues in October 2022, prompting medical experts in Afghanistan to recommend advanced care in India. His brother, Ghamai Zadran, revealed that Shapoor initially showed signs of recovery after treatment but faced a setback when the infection returned, leading to his readmission to the intensive care unit. Between 2009 and 2020, Shapoor played a significant role in Afghanistan's cricketing history, representing the nation in 44 ODIs and 36 T20Is.
