He captained England three times and worked in various coaching capacities for his country between 2010 and 2022.
“It is with great sadness that we share the news that Graham Thorpe, MBE, has passed away,” according to the European Central Bank.
“There appear to be no acceptable words to explain the profound shock we feel at Graham’s passing.
More than just one of England’s greatest batters, he was a beloved part of the cricket family and a hero to fans all over the world.
“His talent was undeniable, and his abilities and accomplishments over a 13-year international career provided joy to his teammates, as well as England and Surrey CCC fans.
