New Zealand Herald And other media reported on Tuesday that Keynes was using a life support machine after suffering an aortic dissection-a tear in the body’s main artery-in Canberra last week.
The Herald added that the 51-year-old man will be transferred to a specialist hospital in Sydney. According to reports, after several operations, his treatment did not achieve the expected results.
The talented all-rounder Keynes, an excellent right-arm fast mid-size bowler and gorgeous batsman, retired from the international restricted cricket game in 2006 after initially quitting Tests two years ago, and has since served as a TV commentator and expert.
He scored a total of 10,702 runs in top-notch cricket matches, scoring an average of 35.32 points, and scored 647 wickets with a score of 28.31.
In addition to participating in 62 tests, 215 one-day international matches and two Black Caps T20 matches, Keynes also played several matches in England County Cricket in Nottinghamshire during the 20 years from 1988 to 2008.
In 2000, he was named one of the five cricketers of the year by Wisden, the cricket bible.
In 2015, Keynes was accused in the Southwark Criminal Court in 2012 against the then Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi (Lalit Modi), after he filed a match-fixing charge on Twitter and sued him.
