James Taylor- England
James Taylor was one of the brightest prospects to have emerged from the English county circuit, but his world soon turned on its head when he was forced to retire from the age of 26 back in 2016 due to a serious heart illness.
Taylor, who represented England in 7 Tests and 27 ODIs in which he scored 753 and 1107 runs respectively, announced his retirement with a heart-breaking note on Twitter where he wrote: “Safe to say this has been the toughest week of my life! My world is upside down. But I’m here to stay and I’m battling on!”
