    Concern is mounting for the health of former Australian cricketer Damien Martyn

    Concern is mounting for the health of former Australian cricketer Damien Martyn


    The 54-year-old has been placed into an induced coma after being diagnosed with meningitis.

    He reportedly fell ill on Boxing Day and is in a Queensland hospital.

    Speaking on behalf of the Martyn family, ex-Australia teammate Adam Gilchrist confirmed his friend was receiving treatment.

    Martyn played 67 tests for Australia between 1992 and 2006 - he was also part of two World Cup-winning teams.
