Surrey County Cricket Club: Surrey County Cricket Club (SCCC) will honour former England batter Graham Thorpe during the fifth and final Test of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval.

"The life of England and Surrey cricketer Graham Thorpe will be remembered and celebrated on Friday, August 1, during the second day of the final men’s Test Match in the series between England v India," Surrey County Cricket Club (SCCC) said in a statement.

'A Day for Thorpey' will be held at the Oval Cricket Ground, London, in support of mental health charity Mind, on what would have been Graham’s 56th birthday. Graham took his own life on August 4 last year, aged 55, after struggling with anxiety and depression for several years.
