Australian cricket player Fawad Ahmed has sadly announced the tragic death of his four-month-old son following a health battle.

After spending months in the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne trying to find a diagnosis, Ahmed announced on Monday that his son had passed away.

‘Till we meet again my little angel,’ he wrote alongside two photos of the tiny boy.
‘Unfortunately after a long struggle my little man has lost the painful and tough fight.
‘I believe you are in a better place, we will miss you so much.
‘I hope no one ever goes through this pain.’
In an earlier interview with Cricket Australia, Ahmed described his son’s struggle as ‘a tough time’.
‘Every day he is growing, and the bones and the joints are getting stiffer and stiffer,’ he said.
‘We don’t know what’s going to happen. Neither do the doctors. It’s pretty bad. You want to know.
‘This is something that is aching the heart.’
Two months ago the baby underwent a surgery to bring forward his jaw and tongue to help with breathing after winning a weight struggle and finally reaching 3kg.
However, his health problems persisted and his eyesight became a fresh concern.

‘It’s something that’s so unexpected,’ Ahmed said.
‘You’re excited, you’re happy about the birth of your child, and then suddenly you go to some dark places, and you don’t know what’s going to happen.
‘Our lives have completely changed. Every morning, we just wake up and get ready to go to the hospital. Then in the evening, we come back. That’s it, nothing else.’
