Former Australia wicketkeeper Rod Marsh is in the fight of his life as he remains in an induced coma, a family statement stated on Sunday. The 74-year-old had suffered a major heart attack last week. Rod Marsh’s son Paul said that it will take some time for the scope of recovery to become clearer.
Paul, the former chief executive of the Australian Cricketers Association and now CEO of the AFLPA released the statement on the behalf of the family. “On behalf of my mother Ros and brothers Dan and Jamie, I wanted to provide an update on Dad’s condition. He is currently in the fight of his life and remains in an induced coma in critical condition. At the moment this is a waiting game and we are unlikely to have any certainty for some time. We know there is a lot of interest in Dad’s condition and our family has been overwhelmed by the messages of love and support from all around the world. We have listened to and read every one of them and we are incredibly grateful to everyone,” stated an official statement.
