Robert 'Rob' Key, former England batsman-turned-commentator, had suffered a mini-stroke during the weekend and has been in recovery ever since.
Key, 41, played in 15 Tests between 2002 and 2005, as well as five ODIs and a one-off T20I. He is more known for his amazing double century against West Indies which came in a Test at Lord’s. It was his maiden ton, but he only managed six more Tests.

He led the club to promotion as Division Two County Champions in 2010, and also captained them at two Twenty20 Cup Finals Days, as well as the FP Trophy final in 2008. Since retirement, he is a member of the Sky Sports' commentary team.
