"He is under the care of Consultant Cardiologist who is liaising with PCB medical team regarding further treatment. He is currently stable," an official statement by the PCB read.

Abid, who was named player of the series for Pakistan's Test series against Bangladesh, was playing for his domestic team Central Punjab at the UBL Complex in Karachi when he complained discomfort around shoulder and chest when he was rushed to the hospital.
