Tributes have been paid to the batter after a 17-year career that saw him score more than 6,700 test runs and become an England regular.
The England and Wales Cricket Board announced the batter's death after he battled with a serious illness for two years.
"Later, as a coach, he guided the best England Men's talent to some incredible victories across all formats of the game. The cricket world is in mourning today. Our hearts go out to his wife Amanda, his children, father Geoff, and all of his family and friends during this unimaginably difficult time. We will always remember Graham for his extraordinary contributions to the sport."
Slipper said: “Graham is one of the great sons of Surrey and there is an overwhelming sadness that he will not walk through the gates of the Oval again. He is a legend of Surrey and brought great pride to the Club wearing both the Three Feathers and the Three Lions. He made outstanding contributions to the Club as a cricketer, and as a man, and he will be so sorely missed.”
He was named interim head coach for England's T20 series against Pakistan and led his country to a 2-1 win. He also stood in for the fourth Test of the 2021/2022 Ashes series, claiming a draw, the only game England did not lose.
