Former Pakistan batting great and ICC Hall of Fame inductee Zaheer Abbas is currently battling with severe health complications.

It was learnt the 74-year-old was diagnosed with pneumonia and is undergoing dialysis in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a private hospital in London. Abbas had earlier complained of kidney pain following his arrival in London from Dubai.

The batting maestro – known as the Asian Bradman – had been a prolific run-scorer in his time, having amassed 5062 runs in 72 Tests – in which he captained Pakistan in 14 Tests -- since making his debut in 1969.

In the limited-over cricket, Abbas was a feared batter as well, boasting a high strike-rate of around 85 in the 62 ODIs he played, totalling to 2572 runs.
