Zimbabwe men’s cricket team’s T20I captain Sikandar Raza’s 13-year-old brother, Muhammad Mahdi, breathed his last on December 29, Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) shared on Wednesday.
In a brief statement, the ZC revealed that Mahdi was born with haemophilia – a medical condition in which the ability of the blood to clot is severely reduced, causing the sufferer to bleed severely from even a slight injury.
The cricket board further shared that Mahdi tragically passed away on Monday and was laid to rest here the following day, while expressing solidarity with its national men’s team’s T20I captain Raza and his family at the time of profound grief.
