Former Australia cricket captain and legendary commentator Richie Benaud has revealed he is undergoing radiation therapy for skin cancer.
The 84-year-old made his illness public at an event in Sydney to mark the start of Australia's summer season.
"I'm coping with it very well - the doctors are pleased," he told Australian broadcaster Channel Nine.
Benaud, who has commentated since he stopped playing in 1964, has not worked since crashing his car in October 2013.
He said he was receiving treatment for skin cancers on his forehead and the top of his head, and urged people to protect themselves from the sun.
