Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has made a clarification that he didn’t suffer a heart attack and went to his doctor for a routine check-up.
"I want to thank everyone in Pakistan and around the world for praying for my health. I want to thank the Pakistan people, and cricketers from Pakistan and around the world who sent their well-wishes," said Inzamam on his YouTube channel, as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
The former right-handed batsman further said that he came back home just after 12 hours at the hospital and was fine.
"I saw reports saying I had suffered a heart attack. I did not. I went to my doctor for a routine check-up, who said they wanted to conduct an angiography. During angiography, they noted an artery of mine was blocked, so they inserted stents to alleviate that problem. It was successful and easy, and I came back home after just 12 hours at the hospital. I feel fine," he added.
Inzamam notched up more than 11000 ODI runs in 378 matches that he featured in while scored 8830 runs in 120 Tests that he played. The former skipper hung his boots from international cricket after the 2007 World Cup.
He was later appointed as the chief selector of the Pakistan team back in 2016.
