The hospital authority is yet to issue a statement on the health of Brian Lara. But the cricket community felt a little relieved when Cricket West Indies (CWI) posted a video message of the southpaw taking about his current situation. The legendary batsman revealed that he might have spent some extra time at the gym, which was the root of the chest pain.
“I know everyone is very concerned about what is happening. I may have just extended myself in the gym this morning. I was getting a pain in my chest and I just thought that it was best to see a doctor. I was taken to the hospital, pain continued obviously and a lot of tests were done,” Lara said in a video message.
