Watch: Ex-Scotland Star, 83, Plays With Oxygen Cylinder On His Back

The love for cricket knows no age and one of the biggest example of that is 83-year-old Scottish cricketer Alex Steele. The wicket-keeper made his debut for Scotland way back in 1967 against English county side Lancashire but his love and passion for the game has remained the same. A club cricketer for Forfarshire Cricket Club, Steele still appears for matches and recently a video of him keeping wickets has gone viral.

He has been suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a terminal respiratory disease, since 2020.
