Former England batter Graham Thorpe has died at the age of just 55. The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed the shock news on Monday. No immediate cause of death was announced. Thorpe won 100 Test caps during a stellar England career and was regarded as one of the best batters of his generation, with his international exploits running alongside a 17-year spell with his county side Surrey.
” Thorpe made his international debut in 1993 and scored a century on his first Ashes appearance, becoming the first England player to do so in 20 years. He was an England regular, scoring 16 Test centuries and featuring 82 times for the ODI side. His final Test appearance came in June 2005 before he was omitted from that summer’s victorious Ashes series and called time on his international career.
