Graham Thorpe, a celebrated figure in cricket, has passed away at the age of 55, leaving behind a legacy that has deeply impacted the cricket community worldwide. The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed his passing, marking the end of an era for one of cricket's most revered batsmen.
"It is with great sadness that we share the news that Graham Thorpe, MBE, has passed away," stated the ECB. "There seem to be no appropriate words to describe the deep shock we feel at Graham's death. More than one of England's finest-ever batters, he was a beloved member of the cricket family and revered by fans all over the world.
In May 2022, Thorpe was hospitalized with a severe illness, prompting England’s newly appointed Test captain, Ben Stokes, to honor him by wearing a shirt with Thorpe’s name and cap number during a match against New Zealand at Lord’s.
