Sasaram, July 7 -- India's seamer Akash Deep's childhood friend, Vaibhav Kumar, said that the cricketer's sister, Akhand Jyoti Singh -- who has been battling cancer for the past two months -- is now doing well. He also expressed gratitude to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Lucknow team management for their support during the difficult time.

Speaking to ANI about Jyoti's health, Vaibhav said, "It was first-stage cancer...Team management in Lucknow was very helpful. Doctors were called from outside, and she received treatment in Lucknow. Doctors came from Mumbai too. BCCI, the Lucknow team management, and even the Bengal, where he (Akash) played, helped a lot. Now, she is fine. There are no issues now."
