Australian cricket great Damien Martyn was rushed to hospital after falling ill on Boxing Day and is reportedly in an induced coma due to meningitis.

The 54-year-old former batsman, who played 67 Tests and was a 2003 ODI World Cup winner, went to lie down after feeling sick and is now in a serious condition in a Gold Coast hospital. Nine Newspapers reported on Wednesday that Martyn was “in an induced coma ... after being diagnosed with meningitis”.
