Brian Lara hospitalized for suspected hepatitis
18.43 IST   17th Sept 2002

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Star West Indian batsman Brian Lara has been admitted to a hospital in Colombo, for suspected hepatitis, according to an International Cricket Council (ICC) press release.

Lara was feeling unwell before the West Indies ICC Champions Trophy match with Kenya at the SSC ground, but went on to score 111 out of the team’s 50 overs total of 261.

As soon as Lara completed his innings, a doctor was called to examine the stylish southpaw. The doctor suggested that Lara be admitted to a local hospital.

“Brian has been feeling below par for a couple of days but was well enough to take part in the game today. When he came in from batting he was in obvious discomfort and the doctor was consulted.

"The latest information is that Brian will spend the next 24 hours in hospital undergoing tests. At this stage the most likely diagnosis is hepatitis, but this has yet to be confirmed," said West Indies team manager Ricky Skerritt.
