Simi Singh, an Indian all-rounder who has played 35 ODIs and 53 T20Is for Ireland, is currently fighting for his life. According to the Times of India, the cricketer is currently in the intensive care unit of a Gurugram hospital due to acute liver failure. According to the report, the cricketer is currently awaiting a liver transplant at the hospital. Simi, who was born in Mohali, represented Punjab at the U-14 and U-17 levels but did not make the U-19 team. He decided to study hotel management in Ireland and became a professional cricketer with Malahide Cricket Club in Dublin in 2006.Parvinder Singh, Simi Singh’s father-in-law, disclosed information regarding the cricket player’s health.
“Simi experienced sporadic episodes of a peculiar fever approximately five-six months ago while he was in Dublin, Ireland. He went there to have himself checked out, but the examinations revealed nothing significant. The doctors there refused to begin treating Parvinder because they could not determine the underlying reason, he told news sources.
Simi’s health was declining and the process was taking longer than expected, so we made the decision to send him to India for “better medical attention.” Simi took a plane to Mohali in late June, and in early July, following several meetings with different doctors, he began treatment at PGI, Chandigarh. Antibiotics were administered to him along with the TB (tuberculosis) treatment plan. Results later showed that he was not tuberculosis positive.”
Since his temperature didn’t go down, we brought him to a Mohali private hospital to get a second opinion.
Simi didn’t have tuberculosis, they informed us there, but the six-week medication regimen needed to be finished. Steroids were administered to him in addition to the TB medication. Acute jaundice set in and his fever began to rise again after that. We brought him back to PGI during the final week of August and admitted him to the ICU. He continued to experience health problems, though, and the PGI doctors discovered that he was suffering from acute liver failure. Given the likelihood that Simi would go into a coma and that a transplant would not be feasible after that, they recommended that we take him to Medanta, Gurugram. September 3 is when we arrived in Medanta,” he said.The story states that Simi is currently awaiting a liver transplant and that Agamdeep Kaur, his wife, has consented to give a portion of her liver.
