Dec 2 : Former batter Robin Smith, a World Cup finalist with England in 1992, has died at the age of 62, his former club Hampshire said on Tuesday.

Smith, born in South Africa to British parents, played 62 tests and 71 one-day internationals (ODIs) for England, scoring 13 centuries.

He suffered from depression and alcoholism following his retirement, telling British newspapers only last week about his personal struggles.

"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of legendary batter Robin Smith," Hampshire posted on X.
