Graham Thorpe: Former England batter 'seriously ill' in hospital
Former England and Surrey batter Graham Thorpe is "seriously ill" in hospital, the Professional Cricketers' Association has said.
He was previously England men's batting coach but stepped down from the role in February following their 4-0 Ashes defeat by Australia.A statement from the PCA said: "Graham Thorpe has recently fallen seriously ill and is currently in hospital receiving treatment."Our thoughts are with Graham and his family."
He scored an unbeaten 114 in the second innings of his Test debut against Australia and had a Test best of 200 not out, made against New Zealand in 2002. He worked as an assistant coach with England alongside Trevor Bayliss and Chris Silverwood, and oversaw England in the Ashes Test at Sydney last year after Silverwood contracted coronavirus.
