[Cricket] James Taylor Forced to Retire

[Paul Reids Sock]

Just heard on TalkSport breaking news that James Taylor has been forced to retire due to a heart condition

What an absolute loss of talent to the game. Such a shame for him as well as seems a very decent lad

 

[CPFC G]

Real shame for the lad, He was just starting to hit his peak, Good player as well.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Cracking explosive player, gutting for the lad.

But also brilliant by the medical teams to identify it ahead of anything more tragic. Hope he's able to stay in and around the game.

 

[LamieRobertson]

What a shock...got to wish him all the best for his future

 

[Eeyore]

Shocked to read this. He was just moving towards the peak of his career.

 

[Hiney]

Horrendous news but brilliant by the medical people in identifying the condition.

He was a really good player and those two catches at Short Leg in South Africa were unbelievable.

such a sad news...

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Played one of the streakist innings for Sussex against the Aussies as well

 

[Gwylan]

I always thought he should have played more times for England - a really class player. Glad the medics picked it up in time though, it's gutting for him but it could have been worse.

Definitely great that they are able to spot things these days. This is a much better situation than the potential alternative

Scan picked up similar condition to Fabrice Muamba.

Muamba has tweeted him 'Having life is a great option. Retirement is inevitable but for some of us it's just earlier than expected. Enjoy life.'

That's a terrible bit of luck. Glad he's OK though.
