However, the West Indies great is said to be OK and is watching the World Cup in hospital in India.
Cricket West Indies confirmed the news on Twitter, saying: “Our prayers and well wishes go out to former West Indies batsman and captain @BrianLara who has been hospitalized in Mumbai due to chest pains.
