Netherlands head coach Ryan Campbell is in critical condition and under heavy sedate following a heart attack last weekend. The 50-year-old is currently hospitalised at Royal Stoke University Hospital on Newcastle Road, Stoke-on-Trent (UK).

Earlier on Friday morning AWST (Australian Western Standard Time), Campbell’s family issued a statement to give the health updates of the former Australian and Hong Kong international cricketer.

“It is impossible to state our gratitude to the truly incredible staff at the hospital whose skill, care and compassion know no bounds. The family would like to take this opportunity to thank all of his friends and supporters around the world for their love and support.
“As we are sure you can understand it is impossible to respond to all of the messages but we truly appreciate you keeping him in your thoughts and prayers. We will update you again when we have more news but, in the meantime, we will be grateful if you could give the family some privacy at this immensely difficult time,” the statement further read. 

Ryan Campbell out of coma: Brother Mark

Just after suffering a shocking heart attack, Campbell was kept in an induced coma for several days. However, the former cricketer’s brother Mark said that the coach was out of the coma but medical officials are concerned with arrhythmia.
“They’re saying that there doesn’t appear at this stage to be any brain damage, his brain wasn’t starved of oxygen. So that looks OK,” Mark told the Australian radio network Triple M.

“They’re not sure now why his heart is still being arrhythmic. So that’s another issue that they’re now going to look at over there,” he added. 

Campbell was appointed the head coach of the Netherlands’ men’s cricket team in January 2017. He was part of the Dutch’s visit to New Zealand for the three-match ODI series, which the Black Caps won 3-0.  The 50-year-old recently made a visit to Perth to spend time with family and friends.
