David Lawrence, First British-born Black Player To Play For England, Diagnosed With Motor Neuron Disease
Wales Cricket Board: Former England fast bowler David Lawrence has been diagnosed with Motor neuron disease, following a series of tests held earlier this month. Lawrence played five Tests, picking 17 wickets, and one ODI for England, where he picked 4-67.
“We are saddened to learn of David’s diagnosis. He embodies everything great about our game and all of our hearts go out to ‘Syd’ and his family,” said the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in a post on X.
Lawrence played 280 matches for Gloucestershire between 1981 and 1997 and picked 625 wickets during his career at Nevil Road. Motor neuron disease is a rare, degenerative condition that affects the brain and nerves, and as of now, there is no cure.
