Mumbai: West Indies cricket icon Brian Lara was Wednesday discharged from a hospital here, declared “fit and fine” a day after he complained of chest pain.
The 50-year old from Trinidad, considered one of the greatest batsmen to have played the game, was admitted to the Global Hospital in Parel after complaining of chest pain during a gym workout session.
“He (Lara) has been discharged at 12:20 from the hospital,” a source told PTI.
“He is fit and fine,” he added without divulging any further details.
In a late evening message on Tuesday, Lara had allayed concerns over his health.
“I may have just extended myself in the gym this morning. I was getting a pain in my chest and I just thought that it was best to see a doctor,” he had said.
“Just letting everyone know that I am fine, recovering and I will be back in my hotel room tomorrow,” he added.
