On 14 May 2022, Cricket fans worldwide were shocked by the sudden death of Australian cricket star Andrew Symonds. 

In 1998, he made his ODI debut against Pakistan in Lahore. He did not have his opportunity to bat but did get to bowl twice. It was, however, during the 2003 World Cup that his career accelerated.

Due to disciplinary and alcohol-related reasons, Symonds spent most of 2008 out of the team.

After Symonds’ central contract was withdrawn, many cricket analysts speculated that he might be forced to retire by the Australian administrators. After stepping down from all forms of cricket in February 2012, Symonds devoted himself to his family. Jump to 2022, and a car crash once again sadly saw cricket fans mourning his death.

Two World Cup Titles
