Lahore Qalandars assistant coach Riaz Afridi, the elder brother of team captain Shaheen Shah Afridi, was taken to hospital on Tuesday after suddenly falling ill during a training session.
According to sources, Riaz experienced a drop in his blood sugar levels, which led to his condition deteriorating. He was promptly rushed to a nearby medical facility for treatment.
Riaz had represented Pakistan in one Test match in 2004.
