Surrey Players Wear Black Armbands In County Game After Alec Stewart’s Wife Dies
Division One County Championship: Surrey’s players are sporting black armbands on the last day of their Division One County Championship match against Hampshire after Alec Stewart’s wife Lynn died on Monday. The side also decided to fly their flags at half-mast above the Micky Stewart Members Pavilion, at its home venue the Oval, as a mark of respect.
Stewart, the former England captain, left his role as Surrey’s director of cricket after the side won its third County Championship title last season, citing that he needed to spend time with family and support Lynn, who had been in a long battle with breast cancer since 2013.
"As people may know, my wife has been battling cancer since 2013 and I want to give her, and my family, more of my time over the coming years than this job allows," Stewart had said on the Surrey website in March 2024.
