KARACHI, July 6: The family of Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has denied
reports that he was admitted in a Birmingham hospital following a
severe attack of diabetes.
"The story is absolute nonsense. It is concocted. I have spoken to
Huma (Wasim's wife) and have been told he is perfectly alright," Mrs
Humayun Mufti, skipper's mother-in-law, told Dawn on Tuesday evening.
She admitted that she couldn't talk to Wasim "but Huma was as much
shocked to hear the news as I was."
On Tuesday, an England newspaper quoted Akram's manager Raja Khan as
saying: "It was a severe attack of diabetes. Had he not been rushed to
hospital on time, he (Wasim Akram) would have died." But Mrs Mufti
said the story would be denied in the paper.
