May Allah Almighty: Tributes poured in from across the cricketing world after former Afghanistan fast bowler Shapoor Zadran passed away in India on Tuesday following a prolonged illness.

The 38-year-old, one of the pioneers of Afghanistan cricket, died a day before his 39th birthday after battling stage four Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare and life-threatening immune disorder, while undergoing treatment in a hospital in New Delhi.

Afghanistan star Rashid Khan led the condolences, remembering Zadran as a close friend whose impact extended far beyond the cricket field.
