I don’t know who is spreading false information about his health,” Andrea told India Today.Her statement came after Couto hinted that Kambli was dealing with a serious health problem.“Since he was hospitalized in Thane about 18 months ago, Kambli has had a brain clot. His memory is not good. He remembers things and then forgets them. All because of that brain clot,” Couto said.

Smoking is strictly prohibited for him as it puts him at risk of stroke, according to Dr. Aadil Chagla (renowned neurosurgeon) who has been monitoring Kambli’s treatment,” he added.“He (Kambli) seemed to be in good health. He and his family were in good spirits. Kambli now uses a stick to walk. His son (Cristiano) wants to become a cricketer. I asked Jatin Paranjape to enroll him in his cricket academy and he immediately agreed. Of course, Jatin will not charge Kambli’s son,” he said.
