India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s father Kiran Pal Singh away at his residence in Meerut. The 63-year-old was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer but later his condition deteriorated two weeks ago.
Mr. Pal was a former Uttar Pradesh police employee and opted for voluntary retirement from the role of sub-inspector. He was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2020 September when his son Bhuvneshwar was playing in UAE for last year’s IPL.
His father’s condition deteriorated a couple of weeks ago after he was admitted to a hospital in Ganga Nagar in Meerut. He is survived by his wife Indresh Devi and son and daughter Bhuvneshwar and Rekha respectively.
Bhuvneshwar, who is currently at home, has been included in the Indian squad for the World Test Cup Championship and a 5-match England Test series against the hosts England.
