Bangaldesh criketer Mosharraf Hossain Rubel is fighting for his life in ICU.
Rubel, played five ODIs for Bangladesh between 2008 and 2016, and battling with a brain tumor for a long time.
The report said that wishes have poured in for Rubel’s fast recovery since the news of him being hospitalised broke out.
Former Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza wrote on his Facebook page, “My friend Mosharraf Rubel, I am praying for your well-being to the almighty Allah. You don’t need to get back on the field, just get well enough to return to your family. The whole cricketing fraternity is waiting for you [to get well]. May Allah be merciful.”
Two years back Rubel on his personal social media handle shared a post where he informed about selling his properly to raise funds for his treatment.
“Initially I had thought the cost will be around Tk70 to 80 lakhs as it was a slow-growing tumor. However biopsy of the tumor revealed it was a highly aggressive glioma and that I need chemotherapy to be fully cured,” he was quoted as saying by Dhaka Tribune in March 2019.
“I have just come back (this evening) from Singapore taking chemotherapy. This is costing around $10,000 each and it’s a course of six months and every three weeks. I am thankful for the immense support that I got from the community initially but I am at a point now where I need to sell my property to cover the expenses,” the cricketer had said.
