Former India batsman Vinod Kambli was discharged from a private hospital at Bhiwandi in Thane district on Wednesday afternoon after undergoing treatment for nearly two weeks. He walked out of the hospital around 4 pm. 52-year-old Kambli was initially admitted to Akruti Hospital for urinary infection and cramps, but the doctors later said that clots were found in his brain. In a New Year's message, Kambli, talking to the waiting media, made an appeal to the people to shun alcohol and narcotic drugs, saying that vices can destroy one's life. He would soon be back on the field, the former swashbuckling batsman said. Kambli was now "completely fit" though he will have to take certain precautions, said Dr Vivek Trivedi who treated him. A video showing the former cricketer wearing a Team India jersey and wielding a bat before he left the hospital went viral on social media.

I was thinking about it during rehab: Harleen Deol on maiden century

Soaking in the glory of her match-winning maiden ODI century, India's Harleen Deol on Tuesday said she had dreamt of this moment repeatedly during her recovery period from a knee surgery earlier this year. Deol's blistering 103-ball 115 laid the foundation for India's commanding 115-run win over the West Indies in the second ODI, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. "It is a very proud moment for me, waiting for it for a long time. Just enjoying it (at the moment)," Deol, who was adjudged the Player of the Match, said during the post-match presentation. "It means a lot to me (to score a hundred). When I was in rehab, that was what I was thinking about day in, day out, with the ultimate goal being to make my team win. Today was that dream, so I just went with the flow." Reflecting on her innings, studded with 16 boundaries, Deol said, "When I came into bat, I had that much time (to build my innings). Thought of just playing some cricket and thought that the m

Former cricketer Vinod Kambli develops fever in hospital, condition stable

Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli, admitted to the ICU of a private hospital in Thane district, developed a fever on Tuesday, but his condition was stable, doctors treating him said on Tuesday. Kambli (52) is responding to the treatment for urinary tract infections for which he was admitted at Akruti Hospital near Bhiwandi town on Saturday (December 21), Dr Vivek Trivedi told PTI. Trivedi is heading the medical team that is supervising the former cricketer's health. Doctors were planning to do an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) on the former India batter, but since he has developed a fever, a decision on the non-invasive medical procedure will be taken later, he said. The MRI procedure has been necessitated after a series of medical examinations conducted earlier revealed clots in his brain, Trivedi said. Kambli is likely to be shifted out of the ICU within a day or two and discharged after about four days, he said. He said the condition of the Mumbai-based former cricketer wa

Nathan McSweeney 'devastated' after being dropped from Australia squad

Rookie Australia opener Nathan McSweeney admitted feeling "devastated" after being dropped for the last two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India but vowed to work hard to reclaim his spot in the national team. McSweeney was on Friday dropped by the national selectors, who handed a maiden call-up to teenage sensation Sam Kontas. "Yeah, I mean devastated, I get the dream come true and then didn't quite work the way I wanted," McSweeney told Channel 7. "But it's all part of it, and I'll get my head down and get back in the nets and work really hard and hopefully be ready to go for the next opportunity." The 25-year-old, who made his Test debut in the series-opener in Perth, struggled at the top with scores of 10, 0, 39, 10 not out, 9, and 4 in his six innings. He was dismissed by Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah four times during the series. "It's the game we're in. If you don't take an opportunity and you're not performing as well as you want to, your position's never safe,"
