The ECB has confirmed the death of former England and Surrey batter Graham Thorpe at the age of 55.

Thorpe played 100 Test matches for England

Thorpe, who played 100 Tests for England between 1993 and 2005 and later served as batting coach for the senior men’s side, became “seriously ill” in 2022, shortly after being chosen Afghanistan’s head coach.

Thorpe amassed 6744 Test runs, including 16 hundreds, and was capped 82 times in one-day internationals. He played for Surrey from 1988 to 2005, scoring nearly 20,000 runs for the county.

”It is with great sadness that we share the news that Graham Thorpe, MBE, has passed away,” the ECB said in a statement. ”There seem to be no appropriate words to describe the deep shock we feel at Graham’s death.”

Being one of England’s finest batters, he was a beloved member of the cricket family and revered by fans all over the world.

Thorpe’s talent was undeniable, and his abilities and accomplishments over a 13-year international career brought great joy to his teammates as well as England and Surrey CCC fans. Later, as a coach, he led the English men’s talent to tremendous successes in all formats of the game.

Thorpe had joined ECB as batting coach in 2010

Thorpe joined the ECB in 2010 as batting coach, and he was a member of the backroom team that won the Men’s Cricket World Cup. He went on to work as Chris Silverwood’s assistant coach, though he was one of several coaching staff members to leave following the 2021-22 Ashes.

He had been due to take charge of Afghanistan, after being appointed in March 2022, but was unable to fulfil the role.

Following Thorpe’s hospitalisation in May of that year, England’s newly appointed Test captain Ben Stokes wore a shirt with Thorpe’s name and England cap number on the back for the toss in his first match in command, against New Zealand at Lords.

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
