Turns out, Abid was diagnosed with the acute coronary syndrome. The opening batter has a stent placed in his blocked coronary artery. An angioplasty surgery has been carried out. A second stent will be placed on Wednesday (December 22).

"I am thankful to God as I am faring well, I request all of you to pray for me as I have a small medical procedure tomorrow. So I request all my family members, fans, and all my well-wishers to pray for me.”

According to PCB, the opening batter is under the supervision of a consultant cardiologist. The doctor is currently communicating with the PCB’s medical team regarding Abid’s health condition.

The PCB has also requested media and fans to not disturb Abid’s family during these tough times. Earlier, in a positive piece of news, the hospital sources said that Abid has undergone all precautionary medical tests and there were no alarming concerns.

The 34-year-old’s ECG report was normal, while the other test which was done to check the presence of protein in heart tissues came negative. A clearer picture is expected to be out after the second medical procedure. For now, there are no serious concerns for Abid. The Pakistan opener was last seen playing against Bangladesh in a two-match Test series.
