Former England batter and assistant coach Graham Thorpe ‘seriously ill’ in hospital
Former England and Surrey cricketer Graham Thorpe is “seriously ill” in hospital, the Professional Cricketers’ Association (PCA) and Thorpe’s family have announced.
The 52-year-old played 100 Test matches for England and was appointed Afghanistan head coach in March following his departure from the England set-up after this winter’s Ashes.
“Graham Thorpe has recently fallen seriously ill and is currently in hospital receiving treatment,” a PCA statement read on Tuesday.
“His prognosis is unclear at this stage and we ask for privacy for him and his family at this time. Our thoughts are with Graham and his family.”
