But serious concerns over his health emerged a few days ago when a friend of his revealed that Kambli has a &#8216;clot in his brain&#8217; which has started to affect his memory. However, the retired cricketer&#8217;s wife Andrea Hewitt has labelled the claims lies, saying someone is spreading misinformation about his health.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By God&#8217;s grace, Vinod is fine. I don&#8217;t know who is spreading false information about his health,&#8221; Kambli&#8217;s wife Andrea Hewitt told <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/sports\/cricket\/story\/vinod-kambli-health-update-hospital-wife-2897371-2026-04-17\" rel=\"noindex,nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">India Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It was Kambli&#8217;s friend and a former first-class umpire, Marcus Couto, who claimed that the former cricketer is battling a serious health crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ever since he was hospitalised in Thane about 18 months ago, Kambli has had a clot in his brain. His memory is not good. He remembers things and then forgets about them. That&#8217;s all due to that clot in his brain,&#8221; Couto told The Times of India.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kambli has given up drinking, but he tends to smoke at times. Smoking is completely forbidden for him, because it puts him at risk of a brain stroke, as per the doctor Aadil Chagla (famous neurosurgeon), who has been monitoring Kambli&#8217;s treatment,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He (Kambli) seemed to be in decent health. He and his family were in good spirits. Kambli now uses a stick to walk around. His son (Cristiano) wants to become a cricketer. I requested Jatin Paranjape to enrol him at his cricket academy, and he immediately agreed. Of course, Jatin won&#8217;t charge Kambli&#8217;s son anything,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>It has also been reported that a support system had been put in place for Kambli by close friends, with members of the cricketing fraternity also pitching in to help the former left-handed opening batter financially and emotionally. A WhatsApp group, led by Marcus Couto, served as the platform to bring Kambli&#8217;s well-wishers together and raise funds for his care.
