On Friday, Former New Zealand all-rounder Chris Cairns is off life support and recovering in hospital after emergency surgery in sydney for a heart problem, his lawyers said.
“I am pleased to advise that Chris is off support and has been able to communicate with his family from hospital in Sydney,” Aaron Lloyd said in a statement.
Cairns, 51, had surgery in Canberra after a “major medical event” earlier this month but the seriousness of his condition required him to be transferred to St Vincent’s for another operation. New Zealand media reported Cairns had suffered an aortic dissection- a tear in the body’s main artery.
Cairns played 62 tests, 215 one-day internationals and two twenty20 matches for New Zealand between 1989-2006.
