Our Relationship Is Unimportant In The Whole Thing - Brendon McCullum On Chris Cairn's Health Issues

Former New Zealand swashbuckling batsman Brendon McCullum felt very sad for the condition of his former teammate Chris Cairns and described the difficulty of the situation. Chris Cairns has been in the news in recent times as he has been suffering from Aortic Dissection which could be a very fatal condition.

The treatments in Canberra hospital hadn’t shown any positive signs and he had to be moved to Syndey hospital for further treatment. He was in a critical condition last week under life support and it has been the worst of times for the New Zealand all-rounder and his family.

“It’s A Difficult Subject To Obviously Talk About” – Brendon McCullum

Brendon McCullum opined that it has been difficult to talk about Chris Cairns illness and regretted not having met for a long time. He stressed the value of Cairns as an all-rounder in the New Zealand side and mentioned him to be one of the finest cricketers from the country.

He concluded the relationship between the two players is regardless when it comes to the situation he is in at the moment and felt sad for his family and his son.

“It’s a difficult subject to obviously talk about. We haven’t seen each other for quite a long time,” he stated.

“We’ve been reflecting on just how fine a cricketer he was when the news came through and what he did for the game and New Zealand cricket throughout his career as well.

“Our relationship is unimportant in the whole thing, the fact is that Chris is a father and also a son to Lance and Sue,” Brendon McCullum said.

“It’s A Really Difficult Time For Those People” – Brendon McCullum

Brendon McCullum felt that Cairns’s family has been undergone a lot and recalled the incident when Cairns lost his sister a while ago. He added that the cricket community will be under prayers for his recovery soon and understood the deep sufferings inside the Chris Cairns family.

“They’ve already had such tragedy in their life with the loss of Chris’ sister a long time ago as well.

“It’s a really difficult time for those people and I know the cricket community and all those who support the Cairns family will be suffering right now. Today my family and myself are thinking of those people who are suffering,” he added.

McCullum and Chris Cairns have been different in their views including the 2015 Britain Prosecution incident.
