In a good piece of news for Netherlands cricket fans, the Dutch side coach Ryan Campbell has been discharged from the hospital and is expected to join the Men in Orange camp within a few weeks. It may be noted that the former cricketer suffered a cardiac arrest in April and successfully managed to come out of a coma with doctors stating that there are no signs of any damage to the brain.

Recent tests conducted by the doctors showed no damage to the heart and the hospital authorities have also ruled out the possibility of a heart attack as the cause of the cardiac arrest. On the occasion of being discharged, the former Australian cricketer paid his gratitude to the doctors and the hospital staff for his treatment over the past three weeks.

Campbell is expected to join the Netherlands camp ahead of the ODI series against West Indies

The 50-year-old is expected to re-join the Netherlands camp ahead of their ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League three-match 50-over series at home against West Indies later this month. It may be noted that Campbell was selected as Netherlands coach way back in January 2007. In his cricketing career, Campbell has represented both Australia and Hong Kong at the international level.

“I want to take this opportunity to thank the amazing doctors and nurses at the Royal Stoke Hospital critical care unit for their incredible professionalism, kindness, and compassion. I also want to thank Beci Bassett, a parent at the adventure playground in Cheshire who immediately administered CPR. Her courage and quick intervention quite simply saved my life,” Campbell said in a statement released by the Australian Cricketers’ Association.

“My wife Leontina was at my bedside hour after hour and kept our families informed of my progress. She dealt bravely with every development thrown her way. LT, I thank you and love you. Finally, I want to say a big thank you to all my well-wishers from around the world,” he added.
