Ex- Australian Test Cricketer Damien Martyn Hospitalized and in Medically Induced Coma Following Bacterial Meningitis Diagnosed.
The former Australian Test cricketer Damien Martyn is in hospital and placed in an induced coma after being diagnosed with meningitis.
Critical Condition Disclosed
Martyn, aged 54, “is in for the fight of his life”, as stated by former AFL player Brad Hardie, who revealed Martyn’s health situation on Tuesday.
“Let’s hope he can pull through because it’s extremely grave,” stated Hardie.
His condition remains serious after falling ill on Boxing Day and being taken to a hospital in Queensland, according to family sources.
Understanding Meningitis
Meningitis is inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord.
An Illustrious Cricket Career
Martyn is considered one of Australia’s most talented batters, playing 67 Tests and amassing 4,406 Test runs for an average of 46.37 from 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 after struggling in the first couple of Tests.
Sporting Community Reacts
Ex-colleague Darren Lehmann encouraged Martyn to “stay strong” via social media, as the cricket world began to react support.
“Lots of love and prayers sending your way . Keep strong and fighting legend . Sending love to the family.”
