Former England and Surrey cricketer Graham Thorpe passed away at the age of 55 on August 5. Thorpe had been admitted to hospital in 2022 having fallen seriously ill at the time with the prognosis unclear at that stage. Surrey Cricket and the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed the tragic news in an official statement.
The left-handed batter played 182 times for England across Tests and ODIs in a 13-year international career (100 Tests, 82 ODIs). Thorpe also served as the batting coach of England's senior men's team.
He started his career in fine fashion with an Ashes century on debut in 1993 at Trent Bridge. He scored 16 centuries and amassed 6,744 runs in Tests while making 2,380 runs in ODIs. A great at the county level too, Thorpe scored 21,937 runs for Surrey in First Class cricket, with 49 centuries to his name and an average of 45.04
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
