Ex- Australian Cricket Star Damien Martyn Admitted to Hospital and in Induced Coma Following Bacterial Meningitis Diagnosed.
The former Australian Test cricketer Damien Martyn is in hospital and put into a medically induced coma following a diagnosis of meningitis.
Critical Health Battle Revealed
Martyn, aged 54, “is facing the battle of his life”, as stated by ex-AFL star Brad Hardie, who revealed Martyn’s health situation this week.
“We hope he can recover because it’s really serious,” Hardie said.
Martyn remains in a serious condition after falling ill on Boxing Day and transported to a hospital in Queensland, according to sources close to the family.
About the Illness
Meningitis is swelling of the protective layers that surround the brain and spinal cord.
A Stellar Cricket Career
Widely regarded as one of Australia’s most talented batters, playing 67 Tests and amassing 4,406 Test runs averaging 46.37 between 1992 and 2006.
His unbeaten 88 in the 2003 World Cup final – with a broken finger – was instrumental in Australia's win over India.
He announced a shock retirement during the 2005-06 Ashes series in England following difficulties in the first couple of Tests.
Sporting Community Responds
Ex-colleague Darren Lehmann urged Martyn to “stay strong” online, as the sporting world started sending support.
“Thoughts and prayers sending his way . Keep strong and fighting legend . Love to the family.”
