Former Indian Cricketer Vinod Kambli is not keeping well. His brother Virendra has shared some health updates of the cricketer, who has played 104 ODIs & 17 Tests for India. The southpaw has been dealing with serious health issues since December 21, 2014, ever since being admitted to Akruti Hospital for urinary infection and cramps.
Speaking on the Vickey Lalwani Show, the southpaw's younger brother has stated that he is not totally recovered from health issues. The cricketer is currently based in Bandra, & is facing difficulty in speaking also.

"He is at home right now. He is getting stable, but his treatment is on. He is having difficulty speaking. It will take him time to recover. But he is a champion, and he will come back. He will start walking and running, hopefully. I have a lot of faith in him. I hope you can see him back on the ground," said Virendra.
Virendra Kambli issues a public apology, urging everyone to pray for his brother Vinod's health
Notably, Vrirendra has also issued a public apology, urging all to pray for his younger brother's health and welfare.
"He underwent rehab for 10 days. He got an entire body check-up done, including brain scans and a urine test. The results were fine; there weren't too many issues, but since he couldn't walk, he was advised to undergo physiotherapy. He still slurs in his speech, but he is getting better. I just want to tell people who pray for him, so that he gets better. He needs your love and support," he added.
Aside from health concerns, Kambli's financial condition is also not great, as earlier his wife, Andrea Hewitt, stated she had applied for divorce back in 2023 but decided to reconsider her decision considering her husband's health condition. During the podcast, she revealed that she was about to leave the cricketer, but his deteriorating health issues stopped her from filing divorce.

"He will be helpless if I leave him. He is like a child, and that hurts me. It makes me feel worried. I would not even leave a friend, but he is more than that. I remember there were moments when I would just walk away. But then I would be worried: Has he eaten or not? Is he on the bed properly? Is he okay? Then I had to check on him, and I would understand that he needed me," she said.
