Damien Martyn, 54, former Australian Test cricketer, was admitted to hospital in Queensland on Boxing Day with meningitis. He has been placed in an induced coma and remains in a serious condition. Former AFL player Brad Hardie described his condition as the fight of his life.
Martyn played 67 Tests for Australia from 1992 to 2006 and scored 4,406 Test runs. Notably, his unbeaten 88 in the 2003 World Cup final helped Australia defeat India. The diagnosis has been reported by sources close to the family, and Darren Lehmann has publicly expressed support on social media.
