Allan Border has been counted among some of the best cricketers in the world in his time.
Allan Border, former captain of the Australian cricket team and one of the greatest batsmen of the world, has openly expressed his views regarding Parkinson’s disease in front of the cricket fans. Allen says that his health is fine, but it is very difficult for him to fight Parkinson’s disease.
However, now this veteran player of the Australian cricket team is rarely seen in public events. But he took the microphone in the second Test match between Australia and West Indies at Gabba, Brisbane and was seen doing light commentary.
Border gave a big statement regarding health
So while talking to Fox Cricket, the official broadcaster of this series, at the tea time of the second day of the second Test, he shared his thoughts about fighting Parkinson’s disease. Border said-
To be honest, my health is good at the moment. Apart from Parkinson’s, my health is quite good. I get my checkups done regularly and do what my doctor advises me to do. Rest of the body remains fine. The only problem is Parkinson’s, which many people are dealing with. But I’m in really good shape.
Borden further said- I also play golf and still go for morning walks. Right now I am doing all the things that I can do normally. But I don’t run any big marathons anymore. Apart from this, other things are good.
So if we tell you about Parkinson’s disease, it is a disease that occurs with increasing age, the symptoms of which are not visible in the beginning. However, it gradually affects the nervous system of the body and gradually the hold of the nervous system with the rest of the body gets weakened. Due to which human movement becomes very slow.
