Answer 2

ANDY DUCAT: Died of a heart attack while batting in a club match at Lord’s in July 1942. He was the first.

Others include:

ABDUL AZIZ: The only instance in first-class cricket occurred when 17-year-old Abdul Aziz died during the final of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in 1958-59 between Karachi and Services. Aziz tried to play forward to an off-spinner when the ball rose sharply and hit him in the chest above the heart. He collapsed and was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. The score book entry against his name reads: 1st innings retired hurt 0; 2nd innings absent dead 0. This is, mercifully, the only time such an entry has been made in a first-class match.


RAMAN LAMBA: Died at the age of 38 after being hit on the head while fielding at forward short-leg during a club match in Dhaka in February 1998.

WILF SLACK: The Middlesex and England left-handed opener, collapsed and died at the age of 34 while batting in Banjul, capital of The Gambia, in January 1989. He had suffered four blackouts either on the field or at nets in the two previous years, but exhaustive tests had failed to identify what was wrong. Note: GF Summers of Notts was hit on the head during a match against Middlesex at Lord’s in 1870. He died a few days later.


WASIM RAJA: Collapsed on field in 2006.
