Pakistan Test opener Abid Ali has been discharged from the hospital, his father confirmed.

The 34-year-old was forced off the field with chest pain during a Quaid-e-Azam Trophy match and was rushed to a hospital.

He underwent two angioplasty procedures after being diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome, a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) statement said.

According to Abid's father, he is on the road to recovery and is feeling much better than before. "His rehab program is for two weeks and will be checked up in Karachi. The PCB has made arrangements for our accommodation. We are grateful to all the friends who prayed for Abid's recovery," Abid's father said.
