LONDON: Former Pakistani captain Zaheer Abbas, who had been shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a local hospital here, is now making a recovery, his family told on Friday.

The former captain is still in the ICU despite being taken off of the ventilator. While his family is considering moving him to a different hospital in order to 0seek better treatment for the legendary batter.
“He is no longer on the assistance of any machine but is still in the ICU. Hopefully will be moved to another hospital in a day or two,” his family told.
