Stewart, 62, had continued in a high performance advisory capacity for Surrey with a reduced workload to support Lynn, who passed away in April this year after a long battle with cancer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSurrey has always been my home and I am now ready to return to full time duties with the Club again. My priorities have always been to support the cricket management team and the squad to be the best county in the country, to bring cricketers into our professional squad through our pathway system and help players to fulfil their dreams of representing their country,\u201d said Stewart in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Stewart first assumed the role of Surrey\u2019s Director of Men\u2019s Cricket in 2013, overseeing a period of sustained success that has yielded four County Championship titles. Under him, four players from Surrey have turned out for England and are currently in the Test squad for the ongoing Ashes in Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAlec is a legend of Surrey and we are looking forward to having him back in his role as Director of Men\u2019s Cricket. Alec\u2019s record speaks for itself and he\u2019s been the driving force in so much of the Club\u2019s success over many, many years,\u201d said Oli Slipper, Chair at Surrey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
