“I would like to thank everyone in the Australian cricket family for their concern,” Lehmann said. “I am receiving the best of medical care and am confident I’ll be back on my feet soon,” Darren Lehmann said.
In January 2016, Lehmann was hospitalised with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), forcing him to temporarily step away from his role of Australia coach to recover. He played 27 Tests for Australia between 1998 and 2004, before retiring from professional cricket in 2007.
After being part of Australia’s greatest team, he moved onto coach the Australian domestic team Queensland Bulls and won them tournament in the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons.
Following his great success as a coach and his great relationship with the players, he was made the coach of the national side just two weeks prior to the Ashes in England.
